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.

2 · The registry

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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundTo identify risk factors and long-term outcomes for acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly patients who underwent type A acute aortic dissection (TA-AAD) emergency surgeries.

methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 214 consecutive patients who underwent TA-AAD emergency surgeries between January 2014 to December 2018 in Nanjing Drum Tower hospital. The diagnosis of AKI was made based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes definition (KDIGO) criteria. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for postoperative AKI. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated to compare the long-term outcomes between patients with and without AKI complication after TA-AAD surgeries.

resultsAmong all enrolled patients, 114 (53.3%) developed AKI during postoperative period. The median age of patients with or without AKI was 68.0 (64.0, 74.0) and 66.0 (62.0, 72.8) years respectively. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) was required in 43 patients (20.1%). The 30-day mortality rate was 21.5% in all enrolled patients with 26.3% in AKI group and 16.0% in non-AKI group (P=0.067) respectively. Longer mechanical ventilation duration was identified as the only independent risk factor for developing AKI by multivariable logistic regression analysis. In addition, our data suggested that the long-term cumulative survival rate was different between two groups.

conclusionsPostoperative AKI after TA-AAD surgeries was common and associated with worsened long-term mortality in elderly patients. Longer postoperative mechanical ventilation duration was identified as the only independent risk factor for the development of AKI.
