Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) Could Provide Better Accuracy Than Creatinine in Predicting Acute Kidney Injury Development in Critically Ill Patients.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications in critically ill patients. In recent years, studies have focused on exploring new biomarkers for the early diagnosis and prognosis of AKI. The aim of this study was to investigate serum prognostic biomarkers (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, NGAL, and creatinine) of AKI in critically ill patients. The study included 266 critically ill, initially nonseptic, patients admitted to a multidisciplinary ICU. Serum levels of NGAL and creatinine were measured at ICU admission. ROC curves were generated to estimate the prognostic value of the biomarkers, while a logistic regression analysis was performed to assess their association with an increased AKI risk. Patients were divided in two groups based on the development (
