Prospective Multicenter Study on Early Proximal Tubular Injury in COVID-19-Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: During COVID-19, renal impairment is associated with poor prognosis in intensive care unit (ICU). We aimed to assess the existence and incidence of early renal dysfunction and its prognostic value in patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods: In this prospective multicenter study, patients aged over 18 years with invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) for ARDS were enrolled in 3 ICUs. Precise evaluation of renal dysfunction markers, including urinary protein electrophoresis (UPE) and quantification, was performed within 24 hours after MV onset. Results: From March 2020 to December 2021, 135 patients were enrolled as follows: 100 with COVID-19 ARDS and 35 with non-COVID-19 ARDS. UPE found more tubular dysfunction in patients with COVID-19 (68% vs. 21.4%, Conclusion: Patients with COVID-19-related ARDS display a proximal tubular dysfunction before the onset of AKI, which predicts AKI. Proximal tubular damage seems an important mechanism of COVID-19-induced nephropathy. Analysis of urinary proteins is a reliable noninvasive tool to assess proximal tubular dysfunction in the ICU.
