Renal recovery after acute kidney injury requiring urgent hemodialysis is not associated with improved survival of the patients with multiple myeloma.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundSevere acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring urgent hemodialysis (uHD) is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). PURPOSE: To evaluate the renal function, outcome, and survival status of patients with MM who received uHD and to compare their overall survival with MM patients who did not receive uHD. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 70 eligible MM patients who received uHD were included together with 70 control patients with MM.
resultsIn the study group, 11 patients (15.7%) were known to have pre-existing chronic kidney disease. Thirty-four percent of the study group had AKI requiring uHD at MM diagnosis. Seventy-eight percent of the study group had severe AKI due to myeloma kidney. Renal function recovered in 36 patients (51.4%). Patients with MM who became hemodialysis dependent had significantly higher serum creatinine (sCr) levels at the time of AKI compared to patients with renal recovery (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that high sCr on admission was significantly associated with hemodialysis dependence (odds ratio 0.78; 95% CI: 0.63-0.96; p = 0.018). The median overall survival was 30 months [IQR: 26] in the study group and 84 months [IQR: 96.25] in the control group (p < 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the need for uHD at initial MM diagnosis was associated with reduced survival (hazard ratio (HR) 1.9; 95% CI: 1.1-3.2; p = 0.017). Renal recovery did not provide a survival benefit.
conclusionThe need for uHD was associated with poor survival. Recovery of renal function was not associated with improved survival.
