Impact of a Short Educational Session on Early Diagnosis and Management of Acute Kidney Injury for Different Specialties.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
AIM AND
objectiveThis questionnaire study aimed to evaluate the impact of a short educational session on the early diagnosis and management of acute kidney injury (AKI) among doctors specializing in fields other than nephrology, assessed through pre- and post-test scores. This educational study included resident doctors from various specialties for assessment. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study enrolled different specialty resident doctors' departments and assessed them through questionnaires and assessment scores. The pre-test questionnaires were first distributed and collected after 20 minutes. This was followed by a 30-minute short educational lecture on AKI by the nephrology faculty about its early diagnosis and management as per the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines. Immediately post continuing medical education, the same questionnaires were distributed along with feedback forms and collected after 10 minutes.
resultsA total of 110 residents participated in the study. All participants showed significant improvement in the post-lecture questionnaires compared to pre-lecture scores. For medicine and allied branch residents, the pre- and post-lecture scores were significantly higher than those of the surgical and allied branch residents. The lowest score was observed in residents of orthopedics. The improvement scores of all departments also showed significant differences. The highest improvement was seen in the department of gynecology, followed by residents of the critical care unit and the department of anesthesia. The residents of those departments with high pre- and post-test scores had lower improvement scores.
conclusionThe study found a significant knowledge gap in different sister specialties in diagnosing and managing AKI. Short educational sessions showed significant improvement in AKI understanding by addressing the knowledge gaps.
