Effect of rehabilitation on renal outcomes after acute kidney injury associated with cardiovascular disease: a retrospective analysis.
Article in BMC nephrology, 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
backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) incidence is extremely high worldwide, and patients who develop AKI are at increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), CKD progression, and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, there is no established treatment strategy for AKI. Based on the idea that exercise has a stabilizing effect on hemodynamics, we hypothesized that rehabilitation would have beneficial renal outcomes in patients with AKI associated with cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether rehabilitation can stabilize hemodynamics and positively impact renal outcomes in patients with AKI associated with cardiovascular disease.
methodsIn total, 107 patients with AKI associated with cardiovascular disease were enrolled in this single-center retrospective study and were either assigned to the exposure group (n = 36), which received rehabilitation at least once a week for at least 8 consecutive weeks, or to the control group (n = 71). Estimated glomerular filtration rate was assessed at baseline before admission, at the lowest value during hospitalization, and at 3, 12, and 24 months after enrolment. Trends over time (group × time) between the two groups were compared using generalized estimating equations. Moreover, congestive status was assessed by amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and the effect of rehabilitation on congestion improvement was investigated using logistical regression analysis.
resultsThe time course of renal function after AKI, from baseline to each of the three timepoints suggested significant differences between the two groups (p < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups at any time point in terms of percentage of patients who experienced a 40% estimated glomerular filtration rate reduction from that at baseline. The proportion of patients with improved congestion was significantly higher in the exposure group compared with that in the control group (p = 0.018). Logistic regression analysis showed that rehabilitation was significantly associated with improved congestion (p = 0.021, OR: 0.260, 95%CI: 0.083-0.815).
conclusionOur results suggest that rehabilitation in patients with AKI associated with cardiovascular disease correlates with an improvement in congestion and may have a positive effect on the course of renal function.
