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

In hospitalized patients, acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important adverse event associated with high mortality and medical costs. Accurate diagnosis and timely management of AKI are essential for improving the outcomes of in-hospital AKI, and delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis hinders advancements in AKI care. To ameliorate this problem, several electronic AKI alert systems have been proposed but have shown inconsistent effects on AKI outcomes. Before electronic systems can improve AKI outcomes, it is important to confirm their diagnostic accuracy. The purposes of the present study were to establish an easy-to-construct computerized algorithm for the diagnosis of renal impairment and to test its accuracy. The present study retrospectively included 1551 patients hospitalized in Wanfang Hospital with serum creatinine (SCr) levels > 1.3 mg/dL. A computerized algorithm was constructed to identify AKI events and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in these patients. Previous SCr tests were reviewed to define baseline SCr levels. A SCr level increased > 1.5 times from baseline was defined as AKI. An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of < 60 mL/min/1.73 m
