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

Sepsis is a severe systemic inflammatory response, and sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is one of its most common complications. The pan-immune inflammation value (PIV), a novel inflammatory index, is designed to comprehensively reflect the status of systemic immune and inflammatory responses. However, the relationship between PIV and short-term clinical outcomes in SA-AKI patients remains unclear. This study was a retrospective analysis of SA-AKI patients from the MIMIC-IV database. The Boruta algorithm was used to identify key features predicting short-term mortality in SA-AKI patients. The relationships between ln (PIV) and all-cause mortality at 28 days and 90 days were assessed via multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, restricted cubic spline (RCS) modelling, and Kaplan‒Meier (K-M) survival analysis. A total of 4369 patients were included in the study, of whom 57.0% were male. Boruta analysis indicated that ln (PIV) was an important clinical feature. The results of multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed a positive correlation between ln (PIV) and mortality risk at both 28 days and 90 days (HR [95% CI] = 1.057 [1.009, 1.106], P = 0.019; HR [95% CI] = 1.075 [1.032, 1.120], P < 0.001). The RCS model revealed a nonlinear relationship between ln (PIV) and mortality at 28 and 90 days, with a critical threshold of 6.72. Above this threshold, a higher ln (PIV) was associated with increased mortality risk at both time points; sensitivity analyses confirmed that this association remained significant after specific patients were excluded. Subgroup analyses revealed that ln (PIV) significantly affected short-term mortality in diabetic patients (P < 0.05). Ln (PIV) is closely associated with short-term mortality in ICU patients with SA-AKI, suggesting its potential application in early risk assessment and clinical intervention.
