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

Evaluation of patients with acute kidney injury requires comprehensive assessment that includes a urinalysis, which features both semi-quantitative assessment with a urine dipstick and urine microscopy. This process is labor intensive for clinical laboratories, and availability of excellent automated instruments for urinalysis has prompted utilization and acceptance of this strategy by both by laboratories and clinicians. Recently, however, interest in provider performed microscopy has enjoyed a renaissance thanks to both improved microscopy techniques and the endorsement from social media in nephrology. Here, we present two cases of acute kidney injury in which manual microscopy added valuable information to the automated microscopy.
