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

Acute kidney injury (AKI) and gut dysbiosis affect each other bidirectionally. AKI induces microbiota alteration in the gastrointestinal (GI) system, while gut dysbiosis also aggravates AKI. The interplay between AKI and gut dysbiosis is not yet well clarified but worthy of further investigation. The current review focuses on the pathophysiology of this bidirectional interplay and AKI treatment in this base. Both macrophages and neutrophils of the innate immunity and the T helper type 17 cell from the adaptive immunity are the critical players of AKI-induced gut dysbiosis. Conversely, dysbiosis-induced overproduction of gut-derived uremic toxins and insufficient generation of short-chain fatty acids are the main factors deteriorating AKI. Many novel treatments are proposed to deter AKI progression by reforming the GI microbiome and breaking this vicious cycle. Data support the benefits of probiotic treatment in AKI patients, while the results of postbiotics are mainly limited to animals. Prebiotics and synbiotics are primarily discussed in chronic kidney disease patients rather than AKI patients. The effect of adsorbent treatment seems promising, but more studies are required before the treatment can be applied to patients. Immune therapy and some repurposed drugs such as allopurinol are prospects of future treatments and are worth more discussion and survey.
