Methods for phenotyping adult patients with acute kidney injury: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of nephrology, 2025. 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
backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a multifaceted disease characterized by diverse clinical presentations and mechanisms. Advances in artificial intelligence have propelled the identification of AKI subphenotypes, enhancing our capacity to customize treatments and predict disease trajectories.
methodsWe conducted a systematic review of the literature from 2017 to 2022, focusing on studies that utilized machine learning techniques to identify AKI subphenotypes in adult patients. Data were extracted regarding patient demographics, clustering methodologies, discriminators, and validation efforts from selected studies.
resultsThe review highlights significant variability in subphenotype identification across different populations. All studies utilized clinical data such as comorbidities and laboratory variables to group patients. Two studies incorporated biomarkers of endothelial activation and inflammation into the clinical data to identify subphenotypes. The primary discriminators were comorbidities and laboratory trajectories. The association of AKI subphenotypes with mortality, renal recovery and treatment response was heterogeneous across studies. The use of diverse clustering techniques contributed to variability, complicating the application of findings across different patient populations.
conclusionsIdentifying AKI subphenotypes enables clinicians to better understand and manage individual patient trajectories. Future research should focus on validating these phenotypes in larger, more diverse cohorts to enhance their clinical applicability and support personalized medicine in AKI management.
