Acute kidney injury magnitude, mortality, and associated factors among neonates in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most frequent clinical problem that occurs in neonates, and it is associated with different medical problems. Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for a large majority of global neonatal mortality due to infection, prematurity, and birth asphyxia. All these factors are the major risk factors for AKI. AKI is an emerging significant health care concern, influenced by unique regional challenges. Despite its high burden on neonates, there is a lack of compiled evidence in sub-Saharan Africa that shows the burden of AKI among neonates. This systematic review and meta-analysis should provide the pooled prevalence of AKI in sub-Saharan Africa and its significant underlying factors. We searched (Pub-Med/Medline, HINARI, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and online archives) articles with no date restrictions. Our database search included peer-reviewed articles and grey literature. The search terms were restricted to articles published in the English language only. The meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 17, and the estimated pooled prevalence associated with a 95% confidence interval was used to report the finding. I
