Acute kidney injury in neurocritical patients: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 /
objectiveAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant complication in critical care units (CCU). Non-neurological complications such as AKI are an independent predictor of poor clinical outcomes, with an increase in morbidity and mortality, financial costs, and worse functional recovery. This work aims to estimate the incidence of AKI and evaluate the risk factors and complications of AKI in neurocritical patients hospitalized in the CCU.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients admitted to the neurocritical care unit between 2016 and 2018 with a stay longer than 48 h were retrospectively analyzed in regard to the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI.
resultsThe study population comprised 213 neurocritical patients. The incidence of AKI was 23.5%, with 58% KDIGO 1 and 2% requiring renal replacement therapy. AKI was an independent predictor of prolonged use of mechanical ventilation, cerebral edema, and mortality. Cerebral edema [OR 4.40 (95% CI 1.98-9.75) p < 0.001] and a change in chloride levels greater than 4 mmol/L at 48 h (OR 2.44 (95% CI 1.10-5.37) p = 0.027) were risk factors for developing AKI in the first 14 days of hospitalization.
conclusionThere is a high incidence of AKI in neurocritical patients; it is associated with worse clinical outcomes regardless of the CCU admission etiology or AKI severity.
