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

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after vascular surgery. Reduced synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) from tryptophan is associated with an increased risk of AKI in critically ill patients, patients hospitalized with COVID-19, and cardiac surgery patients, and is marked by elevated urinary quinolinate and quinolinate to tryptophan ratios. We measured quinolinate concentrations in vascular surgery patients to determine if impaired NAD+ synthesis was associated with AKI in this patient population. Eight preoperative and eight postoperative vascular surgery patients who developed AKI were selected from a parent study to participate in this single-center case-control study. They were matched with controls who did not develop AKI based on age, sex, BMI, eGFR, hypertension, and diabetes. Urinary quinolinate and tryptophan concentrations were measured at anesthetic induction and on postoperative day one. Two-sided Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare quinolinate and quinolinate to tryptophan ratios. Multivariate linear regression modeling was used to estimate the relationship between quinolinate and serum creatinine. There was no difference in preoperative or postoperative urine quinolinate concentrations or the preoperative quinolinate to tryptophan ratio between patients that did and did not develop AKI (
