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

Volatile anesthetics, while increasingly utilized in intensive care medicine, are associated with significant renal adverse effects. A critical safety concern-particularly with sevoflurane-involves its potential impact on renal function. Pathophysiologically, inorganic fluoride levels exceeding 50 µmol/L are recognized as a threshold for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, a condition generally considered reversible. Additionally, the sevoflurane degradation product "compound A" has been implicated in direct renal tubular and glomerular toxicity. Specifically, exposure has been correlated with glomerular damage, evidenced by albuminuria, as well as injury to both proximal and distal tubules, indicated by elevated levels of α-glutathione-S-transferase. Postprandial glycosuria may also be observed. Unlike nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, the structural damage induced by compound A may result in irreversible renal impairment.
