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

backgroundKDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) provides two sets of criteria to identify and classify acute kidney injury (AKI): serum creatinine (SCr) and urine output (UO). Inconsistencies in the application of KDIGO UO criteria, as well as collecting and classifying UO data, have prevented an accurate assessment of the role this easily available biomarker can play in the early identification of AKI. STUDY GOAL: To assess and compare the performance of the two KDIGO criteria (SCr and UO) for identification of AKI in the intensive care unit (ICU) by comparing the standard SCr criteria to consistent, real-time, consecutive, electronic urine output measurements.

methodsNinety five catheterized patients in the General ICU (GICU) of Hadassah Medical Center, Israel, were connected to the RenalSense™ Clarity RMS™ device to automatically monitor UO electronically (UO

resultsReal-time consecutive UO measurements identified significantly more AKI patients than SCr in the patient population, 57.9% (N = 55) versus 26.4% (N = 25), respectively (P < 0.0001). In 20 patients that had AKI according to both criteria, time to AKI identification was significantly earlier using the UO

conclusionApplication of KDIGO criteria for AKI using continuous electronic monitoring of UO identifies more AKI patients, and identifies them earlier, than using the SCr criteria alone. This can enable the clinician to set protocol goals for earlier intervention for the prevention or treatment of AKI.
