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

Tubular injury is the main cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Proximal tubular dysfunction (PTD) and changes in urinary biomarkers, such as NGAL, TIMP-2, and IGFBP7 product ([TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7]), could precede AKI. We conducted a prospective cohort study from 2020/03/09 to 2020/05/03, which consecutively included all COVID-19 patients who had at least one urinalysis, to assess the incidence of PTD and AKI, and the effectiveness of PTD, NGAL, and [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] in AKI and persistent AKI prediction using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs), Kaplan-Meier methodology (log-rank tests), and Cox models. Among the 60 patients admitted to the ICU with proven COVID-19 (median age: 63-year-old (interquartile range: IQR, 55-74), 45 males (75%), median simplified acute physiology score (SAPS) II: 34 (IQR, 22-47) and median BMI: 25.7 kg/m
