Seasonal variation in the detection rate and all-cause in-hospital mortality of AKI in China: A nationwide cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe clinical syndrome that places a massive burden on medical systems worldwide, yet the seasonality of AKI remains unexplored in China. The aim of this study was to describe the seasonal variation in the detection rate and all-cause in-hospital mortality of AKI in China based on a nationwide cohort study. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort recruiting a national sample of 7,291 adult patients treated in hospitals in 22 provinces of mainland China during January or July 2013. AKI was defined according to the 2012 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes AKI creatinine criteria or expanded criteria of increase or decrease in serum creatinine level of 50% during the hospital stay. The seasonal group was determined according to the corresponding admission date for each patient. The detection rate of AKI refers to the ratio of identified AKI cases to the total number of adult admissions from the same regional or seasonal group. Results: Both the detection rate (2.31 vs. 2.08%, Conclusion: The detection rate and all-cause in-hospital mortality of AKI showed a winter predominance in patients with AKI in China. Winter appeared to be an independent risk factor for all-cause in-hospital mortality in patients with AKI. Environmental factors, including lower ambient temperature, higher relative humidity level, and living in temperate continental climatic regions, were each independently associated with increased risks of in-hospital mortality in patients with AKI.
