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

backgroundAugmented renal clearance (ARC) is a phenomenon that has been demonstrated in many subsets of critically ill patients and is characterized by a creatinine clearance (CrCl) > 130 mL/min. Prior research has examined ARC prevalence in the presence of sepsis, traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracranial hemorrhage. However, to our knowledge, no studies have examined whether this phenomenon occurs in patients suffering from an acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The objective of this study was to evaluate whether patients experiencing an AIS exhibit ARC, identify potential contributing factors, and examine the precision of current renal clearance estimation methods in patients with AIS experiencing ARC.

methodsThis was a single-center prospective observational study conducted in adult patients admitted to a neurocritical intensive care unit (ICU) at a community hospital. Once consent was gained, patients with an admitting diagnosis of an AIS underwent a 24-h urine collection to assess measured CrCl. The primary end point assessed for ARC, defined as a measured CrCl > 130 mL/min. The secondary end point evaluated length of stay in the neurocritical ICU.

resultsTwenty-eight patients met enrollment criteria, and data was analyzed for 20 patients. ARC was present in 35% of enrolled patients. Mathematical estimations of renal function were inadequate in detecting ARC manifestation. Patients experiencing ARC were associated with nonsignificantly shorter ICU length of stay.

conclusionsARC appears to manifest in patients with AIS inconsistently. Patients experiencing ARC were associated with nonsignificantly shorter ICU length of stay.
