Acute gastroenteritis-related acute kidney injury in a tertiary care center.
Article in Annals of Saudi medicine. 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
backgroundAcute gastroenteritis (AGE) can cause acute kidney injury (AKI) via hypoperfusion mechanisms. Early detection of AKI caused by AGE can significantly decrease mortality rates. In Saudi Arabia, studies investigating the association between AGE and AKI are limited; thus, we aimed to fill this knowledge gap.
objectivesAnalyze all cases of AGE reported in tertiary-care hospitals to assess the prevalence of AKI among AGE patients.
designRetrospective cohort SETTINGS: Single tertiary-care center PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study included patients treated for AGE between October 2017 and October 2022. Stool culture was used to diagnose AGE. Inclusion criteria were infective diarrhea and/ or vomiting, and availability of data (demographics, comorbidities, malignancies, length of hospital stay, vital signs at the time of diagnosis, dehydration, causative agents of diarrhea, hemodialysis status, and laboratory data.
main outcome measuresPrevalence of AKI among AGE patients and factors associated with development of AKI. SAMPLE SIZE: 300 patients diagnosed with AGE.
resultsOf the 300 patients with AGE, 41 (13.6%) had AKI, those older than 60 years were more likely to develop AKI. The most frequent cause of AGE was
conclusionsPatients hospitalized for diarrheal disease are at an increased risk of developing AKI due to dehydration and comorbid conditions. It is crucial to keep kidney function in mind for AGE patients as this is associated with a high mortality rate and poor prognosis. LIMITATIONS: The main limitation of this study was its retrospective design. Another limitation is that it is limited to a single center. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: None.
