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

Background and Objectives: Myoglobin released by rhabdomyolysis (RM) is considered to be involved in pathogenesis of kidney disease caused by crush injury, but whether high level of serum myoglobin predisposes patients to acute kidney injury (AKI) and its molecular mechanisms are still unclear in exertional heatstroke (EHS). We aimed to determine the association and potential mechanism of myoglobin and AKI, and further investigate the targeted therapeutic agents for myoglobinemia. Methods: Serum myoglobin concentrations in patients with EHS were measured at admission, 24 h and 48 h after admission and discharge. The risk of AKI at 48 h was the primary outcome; the secondary outcome was composite outcome events with myoglobin levels and AKI at discharge and death at 90 days. In experimental studies, we further investigated the mechanisms of human kidney proximal tubular (HK-2) cells that were exposed to human myoglobin under heat stress conditions and the effect of baicalein. Results: Our measurements showed that the highest myoglobin quartile ( Conclusions: High myoglobin was associated with AKI in the EHS, and its mechanisms involved ERS-associated ferroptosis. Baicalein may be a potential therapeutic drug for the treatment of AKI in patients with high myoglobin induced by rhabdomyolysis following EHS.
