Association between Acute Kidney Injury and Dementia: A Multi-Database Cohort Study.
Article in Kidney diseases (Basel, Switzerland). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: With the aging of population, dementia has emerged as a major public health concern, imposing a heavy society burden. However, the relationship between acute kidney injury (AKI) and the risk of dementia remains uncertain. Methods: A total of 1,256,756 participants from the China Renal Data System (CRDS) database and 492,250 individuals from the UK biobank (UKB) dataset were included in the study. The study investigated the associations between AKI and the onset of dementia. The exposure of interest was AKI. The outcome in both the CRDS and UKB cohorts was dementia. Results: The CRDS cohort identified 7,878 patients with new-onset dementia, while the UKB recorded 9,926 dementia cases during follow-up. AKI showed a significant association with the risk of dementia in both the CRDS (adjusted HR: 1.22; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13-1.30, Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that AKI was associated with an elevated risk of all-cause dementia. Consequently, patients with history of AKI episodes necessitate vigilant monitoring for prevention of dementia.
