Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury by Age and Sex: A Retrospective Cohort Association Study.

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) after noncardiac surgery is common and has substantial health impact. Preclinical and clinical studies examining the influence of sex on AKI have yielded conflicting results, although they typically do not account for age-related changes. The objective of the study was to determine the association of age and sex groups on postoperative AKI. The authors hypothesized that younger females would display lower risk of postoperative AKI than males of similar age, and the protection would be lost in older females.
methodsThis was a multicenter retrospective cohort study across 46 institutions between 2013 and 2019. Participants included adult inpatients without pre-existing end-stage kidney disease undergoing index major noncardiac, nonkidney/urologic surgeries. The authors' primary exposure was age and sex groups defined as females 50 yr or younger, females older than 50 yr, males 50 yr or younger, and males older than 50 yr. The authors' primary outcome was development of AKI by Kidney Disease-Improving Global Outcomes serum creatinine criteria. Exploratory analyses included associations of ascending age groups and hormone replacement therapy home medications with postoperative AKI.
resultsAmong 390,382 patients, 25,809 (6.6%) developed postoperative AKI (females 50 yr or younger: 2,190 of 58,585 [3.7%]; females older than 50 yr: 9,320 of 14,4047 [6.5%]; males 50 yr or younger: 3,289 of 55,503 [5.9%]; males older than 50 yr: 11,010 of 132,447 [8.3%]). When adjusted for AKI risk factors, compared to females younger than 50 yr (odds ratio, 1), the odds of AKI were higher in females older than 50 yr (odds ratio, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.43 to 1.59), males younger than 50 yr (odds ratio, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.79 to 2.01), and males older than 50 yr (odds ratio, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.96 to 2.17).
conclusionsYounger females display a lower odds of postoperative AKI that gradually increases with age. These results suggest that age-related changes in women should be further studied as modifiers of postoperative AKI risk after noncardiac surgery. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE:
