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

backgroundTo explore the potential heterogeneity of acute kidney injury (AKI) and evaluate the prognostic differences among AKI subphenotypes in critically ill patients with cardiovascular diseases.

methodsData were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-III database. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to explore the potential subphenotypes of AKI in critically ill patients with cardiovascular diseases. The number of classes was identified by the Bayesian information criterion and entropy. The differences in prognostic ability among the AKI subphenotypes were evaluated by logistic regression analysis.

resultA total of 7738 AKI patients were enrolled in this study. Using LCA, AKI patients were divided into 4 heterogeneous subphenotypes, which were obviously different from the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stages. Interestingly, class 3 classified by LCA was dominated by stage 2, while the mortality rate in class 3 was significantly different from that in class 1 (15.2% vs. 1.6%, p < 0.05). After further adjustment, the mortality rate in class 3 remained higher than that in class 1, with an odds ratio of 12.31 (95% confidence interval, 8.96-16.89).

conclusionsLCA was feasible for AKI classification in critically ill patients with cardiovascular disease, and 4 distinct subphenotypes of AKI patients with different prognoses were identified. Our results highlighted the potential heterogeneity of AKI patients, which is worthy of further investigation.
