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

objectiveTo describe the prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in canine and feline trauma and to determine associations between AKI and trauma severity, outcome, species, and other factors.

designAnalysis of cases submitted by one hospital to the Veterinary Committee on Trauma registry between April 2017 and February 2021 that had blood creatinine concentration measured within 6 h of presentation after trauma.

settingUniversity teaching hospital in the United Kingdom. ANIMALS: A total of 220 canine and 167 feline trauma patients. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsAzotemic AKI was defined as creatinine concentration > 140 µmol/L (1.58 mg/dL) and subgrouped by fluid responsiveness according to the International Renal Interest Society. Hospital-acquired AKI (HAAKI) was defined as a serial increase in creatinine concentration ≥ 26.4 µmol/L (≥ 0.3 mg/dL) from a nonazotemic baseline. Trauma severity, Animal Trauma Triage (ATT) score, survival, age, and species were compared between groups with and without AKI. Twenty-eight of 387 (7.24%) cases (23/167 [13.8% cats]; 5/220 [2.3% dogs]) had AKI on presentation. Cats were more likely to present with AKI than dogs (odds ratio: 4.95; 95% confidence interval, 2.36-10.8; P < 0.0001). Nine of 17 (52.9%) azotemic AKI patients in which serial creatinine concentrations were available had fluid-responsive AKI. HAAKI was documented in seven of 105 patients (6.67%). Median ATT score on presentation was higher in azotemic AKI than non-AKI cases (P = 0.02). Twenty-two of 28 (78.6%) azotemic AKI cases, three of seven (42.9%) HAAKI cases, and 316 of 359 (89.8%) non-AKI cases survived.

conclusionsAKI occurs in canine and feline trauma and appears associated with higher trauma severity. Its impact on survival requires further investigation.
