Early predictive factors for progression to kidney failure in infants with severe congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract.

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 congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) progress to infantile kidney failure with replacement therapy (KFRT). Although prompt and precise prediction of kidney outcomes is important, early predictive factors for its progression remain incompletely defined.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included patients with CAKUT treated at 12 centers between 2009 and 2020. Patients with a maximum serum creatinine level ≤ 1.0 mg/dL during the first 3 days, patients who died of respiratory failure during the neonatal period, patients who progressed to KFRT within the first 3 days, and patients lacking sufficient data were excluded.
resultsOf 2187 patients with CAKUT, 92 were finally analyzed. Twenty-five patients (27%) progressed to KFRT and 24 (26%) had stage 3-5 chronic kidney disease without replacement therapy during the median observation period of 52.0 (interquartile range, 22.0-87.8) months. Among these, 22 (24%) progressed to infantile KFRT. The kidney survival rate during the infantile period was significantly lower in patients with a maximum serum creatinine level during the first 3 days (Cr-day3-max) ≥ 2.5 mg/dL (21.8%) compared with those with a Cr-day3-max < 2.5 mg/dL (95.2%) (log-rank, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated Cr-day3-max (P < 0.001) and oligohydramnios (P = 0.025) were associated with higher risk of infantile KFRT. Eighty-two patients (89%) were alive at the last follow-up.
conclusionsNeonatal kidney function, including Cr-day3-max, was associated with kidney outcomes in patients with severe CAKUT. Aggressive therapy for severe CAKUT may have good long-term life outcomes through infantile dialysis and kidney transplantation.
