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

Intravascular hemolysis, which is the destruction of red blood cells in circulation, can cause acute kidney injury as the hemoglobin released by the lysed cells is toxic to the tubular epithelial cells. We performed a retrospective analysis of 56 cases of hemoglobin cast nephropathy reported at our institution to analyze the etiological spectrum causing this rare disease. The mean patient age was 41.7 (range: 2-72 years), and the male-to-female ratio was 1.8:1. All patients presented with acute kidney injury. The etiologies include rifampicin-induced, snake bite, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, falciparum malarial infection, leptospiral infection, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, sepsis, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ingestion of termite oil, heavy metal poisoning, wasp sting, and valvular heart disease with severe mitral regurgitation. We demonstrate a wide spectrum of conditions associated with hemoglobin casts in the kidney biopsy. Hemoglobin immunostain is required to establish the diagnosis.
