Long-term follow-up strategies for children after severe acute kidney injury.
Article in Pediatric research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundChildren experiencing acute kidney injury (AKI) are at heightened risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). While identifying patients at high-risk for CKD after AKI early is crucial, indefinite follow-up may strain healthcare resources. We assessed potential predictive factors for CKD following AKI to guide safe discontinuation of follow-up after one year.
methodsWe evaluated outcomes of children with AKI prospectively. We assessed for associations between hospitalization and first-year outpatient data with presence of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 90 mL/min/1.73 m
results96 patients were included. Patients with eGFR <90 had longer AKI duration, higher prevalence of AKI stage 3, and received more KRT. No patient with CKD at 3-5 years was CKD-free in the first year of follow-up and only three patients with normal eGFR during the first year post-AKI had abnormal eGFR at 3-5 years; all had complex medical diseases which would necessitate kidney function monitoring as standard of care.
conclusionsOur data suggest patients without eGFR<90/CKD during the first year post-AKI have low CKD risk in the following 2-4 years and may be safely discharged from nephrology clinics after one year of follow-up. IMPACT: Patients without eGFR <90/CKD during the first year post-AKI have low CKD risk in the following 2-4 years. Lack of CKD in the first year post-AKI is maintained up to 3-5 years after the original episode. Patients without eGFR <90/CKD in the first year post-AKI can be safely discharged from nephrology care.
