COVID-19 among Hospitalized Patients with Kidney Disease: Experience at a U.S. Midwestern Academic Medical Center.
Article in Turkish journal of nephrology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We sought to characterize the clinical profiles and outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 and comorbid kidney disease hospitalized at urban, Midwestern tertiary care hospital. Material and Methods: In this single-center observational study, we describe 205 patients with acute kidney injury (n=98), dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease stage 5 (n=54), or kidney transplant (n=53), admitted during the first surge of the local pandemic from March 19 2020, to July 31 2021. Results: Most patients in the cohort were African American (acute kidney injury, 51%; dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease stage 5, 82%; kidney transplant, 62%), and obesity was common (acute kidney injury, 53%; dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease stage 5, 44%; kidney transplant 56%). Mechanical ventilation was required in 50% of the acute kidney injury, 22% of the dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease stage 5, and 13% of the kidney transplant recipients. Nearly half of the acute kidney injury patients (46%) died and 49% required replacement therapy, while in-hospital mortality was 24% in the dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease stage 5 patients and 9% in the kidney transplant recipients. Logistic regression analysis identified older age and patient group as leading correlates of mortality, with lower death risk in the kidney transplant (24%; odds ratio (OR), 0.17; 95% CI 0.06-0.47) and dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease stage 5 (9%; OR, 0.36; 95% CI 0.16-0.78) patients compared to acute kidney injury patients (46%). Obesity was associated with 5-fold increased mortality risk in the coronavirus disease 2019 patients with acute kidney injury (OR, 5.32; 95% CI 1.41-20.03) but not in dependent dialysis chronic kidney disease stage 5 and kidney transplant patients. Conclusion: During the first surge of the pandemic, kidney patients hospitalized COVID-19 experienced high mortality, especially those with acute kidney injury, older age and obesity. Identifying those at highest risk for adverse outcomes may direct preventative strategies including counseling on vaccination.
