Review in International journal of health sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06196853 (Nephroprotective Effects of Aminophylline in Pediatric Oncologic Patient on Cisplatin Based Chemotherapy; Double Blind Randomized Controlled Trial), which is not on this map.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract

objectivesAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Whether aminophylline administration can prevent or treat AKI among pediatric patients are not clear. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and effectiveness of aminophylline for pediatric AKI.

methodsWe carried out a systematic search of six databases: PubMed, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, Scopus, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar from January 1995 up till May 2019. Summary measures of risk ratios and standard mean difference were calculated using the random effects model.

resultsWe identified seven papers containing data on aminophylline use in children with AKI. Meta-analysis of single-arm studies indicated no statistically significant difference in mean rate of serum creatinine clearance (-0.39 [-0.80-1.58],

conclusionsAminophylline administration in children with AKI reduces serum creatinine level without significant adverse effects or effect on the incidence of AKI, urine output, or mortality. Further, large-scale well-planned randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate its use and its potential long-term effects.
