Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury in Neonates Undergoing Open-heart Surgeries: Single Center Experience.
Article in Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Incidence and outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) among neonates who underwent open-heart surgery are not well highlighted in the literature. We aim to assess the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of AKI among neonates undergoing open-heart surgery. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study between 2016 and 2021 for all neonates requiring open heart surgery. The cases were divided into 2 groups: the AKI (index) group and the non-AKI (control) group. The two groups were statistically compared for risk factors, needs for dialysis, and outcomes. Results: 100 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Among them, 74 (74%) developed AKI, including 41 (55%), 15 (21%), and 18 (24%) patients in KDIGO stages 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Multivariate analysis comparing both groups demonstrated that low pre-operative creatinine (p = 0.01), prolonged bypass time (p = 0.0004) and high vasoactive inotropic score (VIS), (p = 0.0008) were risk factors for developing AKI post-operatively. Furthermore, in the AKI group, 17 (23%) neonates required renal replacement therapy in the form of peritoneal dialysis. The length of stay was higher in the AKI index group (p = 0.015). Patients who had AKI recovered their kidney function at discharge. There was no difference in mortality between both groups. Conclusion: The AKI occurred in 74% of neonates undergoing open-heart surgery, with 23% of them needing peritoneal dialysis. Low pre-operative creatinine, high VIS score, and prolonged bypass time are potential risk factors for AKI development after neonatal open-heart surgery. AKI may lead to prolonged hospitalization, though most affected patients recovered their normal kidney function at discharge.
