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: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is primarily defined and classified according to the magnitude of the elevation of serum creatinine (Scr). We aimed to determine whether the duration of AKI adds prognostic value in addition to that obtained from the magnitude of injury alone. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled very elderly inpatients (≥75 years) in the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2007 to December 2018. AKI was stratified by magnitude according to KDIGO stage (1, 2, and 3) and duration (1-2 days, 3-4 days, 5-7 days, and >7 days). The primary outcome was the 1-year mortality after AKI. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was performed to identify covariates associated with the 1-year mortality. The probability of survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and curves were compared using the log-rank test. Results: In total, 688 patients were enrolled, with the median age was 88 (84-91) years, and the majority (652, 94.8%) were male. According to the KDIGO criteria, 317 patients (46.1%) had Stage 1 AKI, 169 (24.6%) had Stage 2 AKI, and 202 (29.3%) had Stage 3 AKI. Of the 688 study subjects, 61 (8.9%) with a duration of AKI lasted 1-2 days, 104 (15.1%) with a duration of AKI lasted 3-4 days, 140 (20.3%) with a duration of AKI lasted 5-7 days, and 383 (55.7%) with a duration of AKI lasted >7 days. Within each stage, a longer duration of AKI was slightly associated with a higher rate of 1-year mortality. However, within each of the duration categories, the stage of AKI was significantly associated with 1-year mortality. When considered separately in multivariate analyses, both the duration of AKI (3-4 days: HR=3.184; 95% CI: 1.733-5.853; Conclusions: In very elderly AKI patients, both a higher stage and duration were independently associated with an increased risk of 1-year mortality. Hence, the duration of AKI adds additional information to predict long-term mortality.
