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 analyze the risk factors of in-hospital death in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU), and to develop a personalized risk prediction model.

methodsThe clinical data of 137 AKI patients hospitalized in the ICU of Anhui provincial hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: those that survived to discharge ("survival" group, 100 cases) and those that died while in hospital ("death" group, 37 cases), and risk factors for in-hospital death analyzed.

resultsThe in-hospital mortality of AKI patients in the ICU was 27.01% (37/137). A multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated age, mechanical ventilation and vasoactive drugs were significant risk factors for in-hospital death in AKI patients, and a nomogram risk prediction model was developed. The Harrell's C-index of the nomogram model was 0.891 (95% CI: 0.837-0.945), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.886 (95% CI: 0.823-0.936) after internal validation, indicating that the nomogram model had good discrimination. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test and calibration curve indicated the predicted probability of the nomogram model was consistent with the actual frequency of death in ICU patients with AKI. The decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that the clinical net benefit level of the nomogram model is highest when the probability threshold of AKI is between 0.01 and 0.75.

conclusionPatients in the ICU with AKI had high in-hospital mortality and were affected by a variety of risk factors. The nomogram prediction model based on the risk factors of AKI showed good prediction efficiency and clinical applicability, which could help medical staff in the ICU to identify AKI patients with high-risk, allowing early prevention, detection and intervention, and reducing the risk of in-hospital deaths in ICU patients with AKI.
