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
backgroundIdentifying risk factors and improving prognostication for mortality among patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is important in improving the adverse prognosis of this patient population. This study aimed to compare the prognostic value of existing systemic inflammation biomarkers and determine the optimal systemic inflammation biomarker in patients with sepsis-associated AKI receiving CKRT.
methodsThis multi-center, retrospective, observational cohort study included 1,500 patients with sepsis-associated AKI treated with intensive care and CKRT. The main predictor was a panel of 13 different systemic inflammation biomarkers. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality after CKRT initiation. Secondary outcomes included 90-day mortality after CKRT initiation, CKRT duration, kidney replacement therapy dependence at discharge, and lengths of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stays.
resultsWhen added to the widely accepted Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, platelet-to-albumin ratio (PAR) and neutrophil-platelet score (NPS) had the highest improvements in prognostication of 28-day mortality, where the corresponding increases in C-statistic were 0.01 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.00-0.02) and 0.02 (95% CI, 0.01-0.03). Similar findings were observed for 90-day mortality. The 28- and 90-day mortality rates were significantly lower for the higher PAR and NPS quartiles. These associations remained significant even after adjustment for potential confounding variables in multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.
conclusionOf the available systemic inflammation biomarkers, the addition of PAR or NPS to conventional ICU prediction models improved the prognostication of patients with sepsis-associated AKI receiving intensive care and CKRT.
