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

backgroundNephrotoxic medication (NTM) avoidance may prevent further kidney damage in children with acute kidney injury (AKI). We compared outpatient NTM prescriptions in children with or without AKI during pediatric intensive care (PICU) hospitalization. We hypothesize that children with AKI are prescribed NTMs at the same rate as those without it.

methodsThis was a retrospective administrative data study of children <18 years, admitted to two PICUs in Montreal, Canada, from 2003 to 2005, with ≥30 days of provincial drug coverage. We evaluated the presence of ≥3 outpatient NTM prescriptions during the first year and 5 years after PICU discharge.

resultsOf 970 children, 23% had PICU AKI. In the 1st-5th years after discharge, 18% AKI vs. 10% non-AKI and 13% AKI vs. 4% non-AKI patients received ≥3 NTM prescriptions, respectively. There was no association between PICU AKI and prescription of ≥3 NTMs during the first year (adjusted RR 1.02 [95% CI 0.95-1.10]) nor in the first 5 years post-discharge (adjusted RR 1.04 [95%CI 0.96-1.12]).

conclusionsBy offering a better understanding of the current state of outpatient NTM prescription to children with AKI, our study is a step toward considering strategies such as knowledge translation interventions for decreasing NTM exposure and improving outcomes in children with AKI.
