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
backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and critical complication of sepsis, and is associated with unacceptable morbidity and mortality. Current diagnostic criteria for AKI was insensitive for early detection. Novel biomarkers including cystatin C, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), klotho and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) can predict AKI earlier and allow immediate interventions. We aimed to determine the diagnostic performance of these biomarkers for detecting AKI in sepsis patients.
methodsThis prospective observational study was conducted between May 2018 and November 2020, enrolling 162 sepsis patients eventually. The AKI was defined in accordance with 2012 KDIGO criteria and we divided patients into non-AKI (n = 102) and AKI (n = 60) groups. Serum levels of several AKI biomarkers were detected by ELISA. The relationship between biomarker levels on admission of AKI was analyzed and discrimination performances comparison were performed.
resultsAKI incidence was up to 37.0% (60/162) during hospitalization. Compared with non-AKI group, both serum cystatin C, KIM-1, NGAL and FGF-23 were significantly elevated at admission in septic AKI patients. The areas under the receiver operating curves demonstrated that serum cystatin C had modest discriminative powers for predicting AKI after sepsis, and cystatin C combined with serum creatinine in the prediction of septic AKI increased the diagnostic sensitivity prominently.
conclusionSerum cystatin C, KIM-1, NGAL and FGF-23 levels were both increased in septic AKI patients. Our study provided reliable evidence that cystatin C solely and combined with serum creatinine may accurately and sensitively predict septic AKI of patients on admission.
