Incidence and risk factors for acute kidney injury in children with nephrotic syndrome: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Background: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a prevalent kidney disease in children. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication of NS and has the potential to be life-threatening. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of AKI in children with NS, and to provide an evidence-based medical basis for the early identification of high-risk children in the clinic. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in publicly available databases, namely PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, covering the period from the inception of each database until May 2024. The analysis involved examining basic characteristics (age, sex), the concomitant diseases (hypertension, infections), NS disease characteristics (steroid susceptibility classification, pathologic classification), laboratory test (e.g., serum albumin), and the use of nephrotoxic drugs. Traditional and network meta-analyses were performed for analysis. Results: A total of 11 studies were included in the analysis, revealing an incidence of AKI of 29% (95% CI: 23%-37%). The analysis of factors indicated that the age of NS onset [standardized mean difference (SMD): 0.31; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.08, 0.54; Conclusion: Factors upon admission of children with NS are associated with the onset of AKI. Emphasis should be placed on populations with a heightened risk of AKI in clinical practice. Further research is warranted to confirm the findings due to the limitations of this study.
