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.
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
backgroundWe estimated the diagnostic accuracy of urinary NGAL for the diagnosis of AKI.
methodsUrinary NGAL and Creatinine were measured daily for up to 3 days. Doppler ultrasonography was performed within 24 h of admission and for the following 3 days.
resultsOf the 21 patients, 44% had AKI during their ICU stay. The AKI group presented with higher values of serum Creatinine, renal length, MDRD as well as SAPS II already at admission. Urinary NGAL was significantly higher among patients with AKI and patients AKI-no at T0 (
conclusionsUrinary NGAL is a valuable marker for AKI in intensive care settings. It seemed that a pre-existing chronic renal disease, the SAPS II and the NGAL at admission represented the principal predictors of AKI.
