Diagnosis of Multiple Organ Dysfunction in Neonates with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy: Vasoactive Inotropic Score, Renal Score, Fibrosis-5 Index and Lactate/Albumin Ratio.

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
backgroundVasoactive inotrope score, renal score, fibrosis-5 index, and lactate-albumin ratio have not been investigated before in determining multiple organ dysfunctions accompanying infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The aim of this study was to determine whether multiple organ dysfunctions that may accompany HIE in infants are correlated with vasoactive inotrope score (VIS), renal score (RS), fibrosis-5 index (FIB-5), and lactate-albumin ratio (LAR), and whether these parameters can predict morbidity and mortality.
methodsThis is a retrospective study, and 106 newborns diagnosed with HIE and treated with hypothermia were included in the study. Vasoactive inotrope score for cardiac dysfunction, renal score for renal dysfunction, fibrosis-5 index, and lactate/albumin ratio for hepatic dysfunction were evaluated.
resultsWe found that the vasoactive inotrope score, renal score, fibrosis-5 index, and lactate-albumin ratio values of infants diagnosed with HIE are associated with cardiac, renal, and hepatic dysfunction. These values, calculated on the 2nd postnatal day, are particularly linked to prolonged hospital stay and mortality, which are key prognostic factors.
conclusionsOur study is the first to combine vasoactive inotrope score, renal score, fibrosis-5 index, and lactate-albumin ratio parameters in determining organ dysfunction in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and to reveal their prognostic and mortality prediction values. Therefore, although it offers new perspectives, new studies are needed.
