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

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) exhibits considerable heterogeneity. The objective of the current study was to identify AKI subphenotypes in intensive care unit (ICU) patients using multivariate renal function trajectories. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on two independent datasets: the MIMIC-IV and eICU datasets. Using group-based multivariate trajectory modelling (GBMTM), we identified AKI subphenotypes based on trajectories of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine output (UO). Multivariate Cox regression was applied to quantify the risk associated with the AKI subphenotype concerning clinical outcomes. Results: Our study enrolled a total of 17 113 ICU patients diagnosed with AKI, revealing four AKI subphenotypes via GBMTM. Subphenotype 1, characterized by a swift decrease in eGFR coupled with a gradual increase in UO, exhibited the highest mortality rates (24% in the MIMIC-IV cohort, 20% in the eICU cohort). Conversely, subphenotype 4, featuring a marked increase in eGFR alongside stable UO levels, demonstrated the most favourable prognosis (15% mortality in the MIMIC-IV cohort, 8% in the eICU cohort). Subphenotypes 2 and 3 shared similar eGFR trends, however, subphenotype 2 experienced a rapid decrease in UO, whereas subphenotype 3 maintained stability in this regard. Across both datasets, subphenotype 4 showed a significantly reduced risk of mortality compared with subphenotype 1 {hazard ratio [HR] 0.72 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.60-0.81], Conclusions: This study differentiated and stratified AKI subphenotypes among ICU patients by leveraging multivariate renal function trajectories, laying a foundation for personalized therapeutic strategies.
