Prevalence and risk factors of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-related acute kidney injury in pediatric patients: an observational study from a public database.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2022. 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
Background: Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMZ) is widely used in various clinical settings. Studies have revealed that it may cause acute kidney injury (AKI) in adults. However, the correlation between the use of TMP/SMZ and renal injury in pediatric patients is still unclear. This study aimed to identify the impact of TMP/SMZ on the occurrence of AKI in children. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted using data of patients treated with TMP/SMZ from the Paediatric Intensive Care clinical database. A newly developed criterion was used for the diagnosis of AKI, and univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors of TMP/SMZ-related renal injury. Results: A total of 113 patients were included. The prevalence of AKI was 21.2% (24/113). Univariate analysis indicated that the AKI group showed significantly higher baseline serum creatinine level (46.00 Conclusions: Elevated baseline serum creatinine level (≥40.25 µmol/L) and concurrent use of vancomycin were associated with the development of AKI in young patients. Further large multi-center prospective studies are necessary to confirm these relationships and validate their clinical significance.
