Risk factors for severe acute kidney injury after pediatric hematopoietic cell transplantation.

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
backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is common after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and is associated with poorer outcomes. Risk factors for AKI after pediatric HCT are not fully understood. The study objective was to assess unique risk factors for AKI in the HCT population and evaluate post-HCT AKI patterns.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients < 21 years of age who underwent HCT at Seattle Children's Hospital/Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center from September 2008 to July 2017 (n = 484). We defined AKI using KDIGO criteria. We collected demographics, baseline HCT characteristics, post-HCT complications, and mortality. Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate association between AKI and potential risk factors. We used adjusted Cox proportional hazard ratios to evaluate differences in mortality.
resultsOne hundred and eighty-six patients (38%) developed AKI. Seventy-nine (42%) had severe AKI and 27 (15%) required kidney replacement therapy. Fluid overload was common in all groups and 67% of those with severe AKI had > 10% fluid overload. Nephrology was consulted in less than 50% of those with severe AKI. In multivariable analysis, risk of severe AKI was lower in those taking a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI). Risk of death was higher in severe AKI compared to no AKI (RR 4.6, 95% CI 2.6-8.1).
conclusionsAKI and fluid overload are common in pediatric patients after HCT. Severe AKI occurred less often with CNI use and was associated with higher mortality. Future interventions to reduce AKI and its associated complications such as fluid overload are approaches to reducing morbidity and mortality after HCT. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
