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

backgroundAutoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) in children can negatively impact renal function, potentially leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). This study compares the prevalence of AKI and other adverse in-hospital outcomes among hospitalized children with ARDs.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted using the United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2005 to 2020. The study included children aged 1-17 years with ARDs, categorized into inflammatory arthritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and other connective tissue diseases. Logistic regression assessed associations between ARD types and outcomes, including AKI, dialysis, and major adverse events.

resultsAmong 13,891 children with ARDs, 8.2% developed AKI and 1.3% required dialysis. Compared to inflammatory arthritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis significantly increased the risk of AKI (aOR = 11.20, 95% CI: 8.08-15.51) and dialysis (aOR = 40.60, 95% CI: 13.54-121.71). SLE also elevated risks of AKI (aOR = 4.16, 95% CI: 3.20-5.40) and dialysis (aOR = 11.34, 95% CI: 4.15-31.01). Children with SSc had increased risks of infection/pneumonia (aOR = 2.51, 95% CI: 1.84-3.41) and sepsis (aOR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.26-3.58).

conclusionsChildren with ARDs, especially those with ANCA-associated vasculitis and SLE, face elevated risks of AKI and dialysis. These findings underscore the importance of vigilant monitoring and tailored management in this population.
