Nephrotoxicity associated with aminoglycoside therapy in paediatrics: experiences from a leading referral hospital in Kenya.

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: This study assessed the prevalence and risk factors of nephrotoxicity in paediatric patients receiving aminoglycoside therapy at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in Kenya. Methods: Between July and September 2018, a prospective cohort study involving children receiving aminoglycoside treatment was carried out at KNH. Before beginning and after finishing the aminoglycoside therapy, the levels of serum creatinine were assessed. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the patients' clinical and sociodemographic features. Associations between nephrotoxicity and maternal and paediatric variables were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. Results: The final analysis comprised 195 children and the prevalence of nephrotoxicity was 10.3%. Neonates made up 28.7% (58/195) of the total and their risk of developing nephrotoxicity was 3.54 (95% CI 1.6-8.21) times higher than that of other children ( Conclusions: Aminoglycosides were more nephrotoxic to asphyxiated, low-birth-weight neonates with sepsis. Routine monitoring of kidney function should be done within 72 h of starting aminoglycoside treatment in all neonates.
