Prevalence of acute kidney injury in Mexico; a systematic review and meta-analysis of pre-pandemic reports.
Synthesis in Renal failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 health problem worldwide, accounting for high hospital morbidity and mortality. There is little available information regarding the characteristics and incidence of AKI in Latin America (LA), especially in Mexico.
objectivesSystematically search the literature and perform a meta-analysis of the epidemiology of AKI in Mexico, to provide data on AKI and kidney replacement therapy (KRT) that would contribute to general knowledge in this matter.
methodsWe performed a systematic search for articles in pediatric and adult patients admitted to the general ward, Emergency Room or Intensive Care Unit published between January 1, 2000, and September 30, 2024. MEDLINE LILIACS, EMBASE and SciELO were searched, as additional reports from supplements, abstracts, and conference sessions. We performed a random-effects meta-analysis for clinically and methodologically comparable studies to estimate the frequency of AKI and KRT. We calculated pooled estimates stratified by age group, year of publication, and setting.
results83 full-text articles were included. The percentage of AKI was calculated at 35% (95% CI, 28-42). Mortality for AKI adult patients was 36% (95% CI, 28-45). An overall KRT rate was 7% (95% CI, 6-9), all-cause mortality for AKI requiring KRT was 49% (95% CI, 42-56), with a global Ι2 estimated in 99.87% (
conclusionAKI is common in Mexico and remains a main public health problem that needs to be addressed at every level of care. Efforts should be made to reinitiate AKI research and control in Mexico and LA.
