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

backgroundThe effects of serum uric acid (SUA) on clinical outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) are unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of SUA levels with clinical outcomes of AKI patients.

methodsThe data of AKI patients hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were retrospectively reviewed. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized to assess the association between SUA levels and the clinical outcomes of AKI patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was applied to assess the predictive ability of SUA levels for in-hospital mortality in patients with AKI.

resultsA total of 4,646 AKI patients were eligible for study inclusion. In multivariable analysis, after adjustment for various confounding factors in the fully adjusted model, a higher SUA level was found to be associated with increased in-hospital mortality of AKI patients with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.72 (95% CI, 1.21-2.33,

conclusionsAn elevated SUA level is associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with AKI, and it appears to be an independent prognostic marker for these patients.
