1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionEarly diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is limited with current tools. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in AKI pathogenesis in preclinical models, but less is known about their role in humans. We conducted a systematic review to identify dysregulated miRNAs in humans with AKI.

methodsWe searched Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and CENTRAL (August 21, 2023) for studies of human subjects with AKI. We excluded reviews and pre-clinical studies without human data. The primary outcome was dysregulated miRNAs in AKI. Two reviewers screened abstracts, reviewed full texts, performed data extraction and quality assessment (Newcastle Ottawa Scale).

resultsWe screened 2,456 reports and included 92 for synthesis without meta-analysis. All studies except one were observational. Studies were grouped by etiology of AKI: cardiac surgery-associated (CS-AKI,

conclusionDysregulated miRNAs, particularly miR-21, have potential as AKI biomarkers. These results should be interpreted cautiously due to methodological limitations. Standardized methods and unbiased approaches are needed to validate candidate miRNA biomarkers.
