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

Several types of vaccines have been developed to manage the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Although COVID-19 vaccines have demonstrated reasonable efficacy, cases of cardiac, vascular and renal complications have been observed. Herein, the association between COVID-19 vaccination and subsequent renal dysfunction and mortality was analyzed using data collected from TriNetX. A retrospective cohort study was conducted of patients vaccinated against COVID-19. After exclusion and matching, a total of 1,454,791 patients each were included in the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. The primary outcome measured was renal dysfunction and mortality. In total, 15,809 and 11,801 of AKI, and 1,513 and 697 of dialysis treatment were observed in the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, respectively. After one year, the vaccinated group exhibited significantly higher incidences of AKI (HR: 1.20, 95% CI:1.18-1.23), and dialysis (HR: 1.84, 95% CI:1.68-2.01) than the unvaccinated group. The vaccinated group exhibited significant lower incidences of mortality (HR: 0.88, 95% CI:0.85-0.91) than the unvaccinated group. The cumulative probability of AKI and dialysis was significantly higher in the vaccinated group than the unvaccinated group. In conclusion, COVID-19 vaccination was associated with a higher risk of developing acute kidney injury, but lower rate of mortality.
