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: Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are major early complications of lung transplantation and are associated with increased mortality. Lung injury after PGD can contribute to renal dysfunction; however, the association between PGD and AKI severity has not been thoroughly investigated. We analyzed the association between PGD grading and AKI staging, and the impact of AKI on subsequent changes to chronic kidney disease (CKD), including glomerular filtration rate (GFR), over time. Methods: This was a retrospective review of a single-center lung transplantation database between January 2018 and June 2022. AKI and GFR categories were classified according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Spearman's and Kaplan-Meier tests were used to compare disease severity and assess survival. Results: In a total of 206 patients: 119 (57.8%), 25 (12.1%), 34 (16.5%), and 28 (13.6%) had PGD grades 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively; 96 (46.6%), 47 (22.8%), 27 (13.1%), and 36 (17.5%) had AKI stages 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Twenty-one of the 28 patients (75.0%) with PGD grade 3 had AKI stage 3. There was a significant correlation between PGD grade and AKI stage (P<0.001). There was also a significant correlation between AKI stage and GFR category of CKD at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after lung transplantation (all P<0.001). For all AKI stages, GFR categories worsened with postoperative time. Conclusions: PGD grade was significantly correlated with AKI stage, and AKI stage was correlated with GFR categories of CKD.
