1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo identify the clinical risk factors that influence in-hospital mortality in elderly patients with persistent sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) and to establish and validate a nomogram to predict in-hospital mortality.

designRetrospective cohort analysis.

settingData from critically ill patients at a US centre between 2008 and 2021 were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database (V.1.0).

participantsData from 1519 patients with persistent S-AKI were extracted from the MIMIC-IV database. PRIMARY OUTCOME: All-cause in-hospital death from persistent S-AKI.

resultsMultiple logistic regression revealed that gender (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.45-0.88), cancer (2.5, 1.69-3.71), respiratory rate (1.06, 1.01-1.12), AKI stage (2.01, 1.24-3.24), blood urea nitrogen (1.01, 1.01-1.02), Glasgow Coma Scale score (0.75, 0.70-0.81), mechanical ventilation (1.57, 1.01-2.46) and continuous renal replacement therapy within 48 hours (9.97, 3.39-33.9) were independent risk factors for mortality from persistent S-AKI. The consistency indices of the prediction and the validation cohorts were 0.780 (95% CI: 0.75-0.82) and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.75-0.85), respectively. The model's calibration plot suggested excellent consistency between the predicted and actual probabilities.

conclusionsThis study's prediction model demonstrated good discrimination and calibration abilities to predict in-hospital mortality of elderly patients with persistent S-AKI, although it warrants further external validation to verify its accuracy and applicability.
