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

objectiveTo investigate the efficacy and prognosis of CRRT at different times in the treatment of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (SAKI).

methodsA total of 156 patients with SAKI were grouped into two groups in accordance with a random number table, with 78 patients in each group. Patients in the observation group (OG) were treated with early CRRT, and in the control group (CG), patients were treated with delayed CRRT. According to whether the patients died, there were 51 cases in the death group and 105 in the survival group. Renal function and inflammatory factors were compared before and after treatment; univariate and multilateral comparison were conducted to analyze the survival status of the patients.

resultsAfter treatment, the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) in both groups fell below those prior to treatment, while the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was elevated (P<0.01); the decrease of BUN and Scr in the OG was greater than that of the other group, while increase eGFR was more than that the other group (P<0.01). After treatment, C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in both groups decreased compared to that prior to treatment (P<0.001); the decrease of the three factors in the OG was greater than that in the CG (P<0.05). The 60-day survival rate of patients in the OG was 76.92%, which was higher that of 57.69% in the CG (P<0.05). The age, acute physiology and chronic health enquiry (APACHE-II) score and proportion of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the death group was elevated compared to those in the survival group, while the number of patients with early CRRT and eGFR level before treatment were lower than those in the survival group (P<0.05). Age was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of SAKI, and early CRRT was a protective factor for the prognosis (P<0.05).

conclusionEarly CRRT for SAKI can improve the renal function and inflammatory state effectively, and reduce the mortality of patients. Age is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients with SAKI, and early CRRT is a protective factor for the prognosis.
