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

backgroundCurrently, the development of the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and the influence of age and gender on the condition in Germany is unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsData were extracted from the national database of Federal Health Reporting. It was then normalized for demographic changes. Poisson regression was performed on 933,684 cases to quantify the correlation between age, years, and AKI incidence. Analysis of variance was performed on the same collection to evaluate gender disparities in different age groups.

resultsIn absolute numbers, registered AKI increased almost sevenfold from 11,964 to 77,719 between 2000 and 2019. After adjusting for demographic changes, the most AKI - 6300.5 per million person-years - occur in the elderly (>79 years old). Males have a higher risk for the development of an AKI. The male and female AKI incidence ratio varies significantly between different age groups, and it is the lowest in people <20 and >79 years old.

conclusionsThe registered incidence of AKI has risen substantially in the first 20 years of the millennium. The increase can partly be attributed to an increased diagnostic sensitivity provided by changes in the classification of AKI. It could also be shown that men suffer from AKI more often than women, particularly in the younger age groups.
