Acute kidney injury and its associated factors among patients with acute decompensated heart failure admitted to the university of Gondar Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: a hospital-based cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundHeart failure often leads to hospitalization and can directly impact other organs, such as the kidneys. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and is associated with worse outcomes. However, there are limited data on the magnitude of AKI among hospitalized ADHF patients in resource-limited settings such as Ethiopia. This study sought to determine the prevalence of AKI and the factors associated with AKI in ADHF patients in Northwest Ethiopia.
methodA hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Gondar Hospital in Northwest Ethiopia from June 1 to September 30, 2022. A total of 239 participants were included using consecutive sampling. Demographic information was collected through patient interviews, and relevant clinical and laboratory data were obtained from the patients' medical records. The data were analyzed using STATA version 15.0. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out to identify independently associated factors of AKI among patients with ADHF. A P value < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.
resultsThe overall prevalence of AKI in ADHF patients was 25.1% (CI = 19.98-31.03). Older age ≥ 60 years(AOR = 2.95, 95%CI:1.34-6.21), diabetes mellitus (AOR = 9.55,95%CI:2.68-33.99),Hypertension (AOR = 2.34,95% CI:1.08-5.07), sepsis (AOR = 2.13,95%CI:1.09-4.8), use of loop diuretics (AOR = 4.03,95%CI:1.86-8.69) and previous history of AKI (AOR = 11.56,95%CI:4.02-33.26) were independently associated with the occurrence of AKI among ADHF patients.
conclusionA quarter of the patients admitted with ADHF developed AKI. Older age; comorbid diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or sepsis; a previous history of AKI; and the use of loop diuretics were associated with the occurrence of AKI. Such clinical characteristics available at hospital admission can be used to identify patients at increased risk for developing AKI.
