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

backgroundWe aimed to describe nephrotoxic medication exposure and investigate associations between exposure and acute kidney injury (AKI) in the neonatal intensive care unit during the first postnatal week. DESIGN/

methodsSecondary analysis of the AWAKEN cohort. We evaluated nephrotoxic medication exposure during the first postnatal week and associations with AKI using time-varying Cox proportional hazard regressions models. Nephrotoxic medication exposure categories were defined as: no nephrotoxic medication, nephrotoxic medications excluding aminoglycosides, aminoglycoside alone, and aminoglycoside and another nephrotoxic medication.

resultsOf 2162 neonates, 1616 (74.7%) received ≥1 nephrotoxic medication. Aminoglycoside receipt was most common (72%). AKI developed in 211(9.8%) neonates and was associated with a nephrotoxic medication exposure (p < 0.01). Nephrotoxic medication exposures including a nephrotoxic medication excluding aminoglycoside (aHR 3.14, 95% CI 1.31-7.55) and aminoglycoside and  another nephrotoxic medication (aHR 4.79, 95% CI 2.19-10.50) were independently associated with AKI and severe AKI (stage 2/3), respectively.

conclusionsNephrotoxic medication exposure in critically ill infants is common during the first postnatal week. Specific nephrotoxic medication exposure, principally aminoglycosides with another nephrotoxic medication, are independently associated with early AKI.
