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

backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) affects increasing numbers of hospitalized patients worldwide. The diagnosis of AKI is made too late in most individuals since it is still based on dynamic changes in serum creatinine. In recent years, new AKI biomarkers have been identified; however, none of these can reliably replace serum creatinine yet. Metabolomic profiling (metabolomics) allows the concomitant detection and quantification of large numbers of metabolites from biological specimens. The current article aims to summarize clinical studies on metabolomics in AKI diagnosis and risk prediction.

methodsThe following databases were searched for references: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus, and the period lasted from 1940 until 2022. The following terms were utilized: 'AKI' OR 'Acute Kidney Injury' OR 'Acute Renal Failure' AND 'metabolomics' OR 'metabolic profiling' OR 'omics' AND 'risk' OR 'death' OR 'survival' OR 'dialysis' OR 'KRT' OR 'kidney replacement therapy' OR 'RRT' OR 'renal replacement therapy' OR 'recovery of kidney function' OR 'renal recovery' OR 'kidney recovery' OR 'outcome'. Studies on AKI risk prediction were only selected if metabolomic profiling allowed differentiation between subjects that fulfilled a risk category (death or KRT or recovery of kidney function) and those who did not. Experimental (animal-based) studies were not included.

resultsIn total, eight studies were identified. Six studies were related to the diagnosis of AKI; two studies were performed on metabolic analysis in AKI risk (death) prediction. Metabolomics studies in AKI already helped to identify new biomarkers for AKI diagnosis. The data on metabolomics for AKI risk prediction (death, KRT, recovery of kidney function), however, are very limited.

conclusionsBoth the heterogenous etiology and the high degree of pathogenetic complexity of AKI most likely require integrated approaches such as metabolomics and/or additional types of '-omics' studies to improve clinical outcomes in AKI.
