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

Acute kidney injury (AKI), a severe complication marked by a sudden decline in renal function, is a significant public health concern with high morbidity and mortality rates. The early diagnosis and effective treatment of AKI remain challenging due to the complex etiology and pathophysiology of the disease. Nanoagents have emerged as a promising strategy for improving AKI management by enabling early detection, monitoring disease progression and enhancing treatment efficacy. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in nanoagent-based approaches for AKI imaging and treatment. We first discuss the pathophysiological characteristics of AKI and their influence on nanoparticle targeting, accumulation, and clearance in diseased renal tissues. Next, we present a variety of nanoagent-based imaging techniques for monitoring kidney function and diagnosing AKI. We also outline the therapeutic principles of AKI and summarize the broad array of nanotherapeutic agents developed for AKI treatment. Finally, the review discusses the challenges of bringing nanoagent research into clinical use and explores future directions, emphasizing key opportunities to drive progress in this field.
