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

Background: Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) are a significant cause of global poisoning events. AR poisoning primarily manifests as multiorgan hemorrhage, while acute kidney injury (AKI) is exceedingly rare. Current understanding of the pathogenesis of AR-induced AKI remains insufficient, potentially leading to diagnostic and therapeutic delays and increasing the risk of progression to chronic kidney disease. This case report aims to describe the clinical characteristics, diagnostic process, and multidisciplinary treatment strategy of a patient with AKI induced by mixed brodifacoum and bromadiolone poisoning, and to explore the underlying pathogenic mechanisms of AR-induced AKI. Case presentation: This case report presents a 37-year-old male who developed anuria following the onset of painless macroscopic hematuria and gingival bleeding. Laboratory investigations revealed: prothrombin time (PT) > 120 s, international normalized ratio (INR) 13.58, significantly reduced activity of coagulation factors II, VII, IX, and X, and serum creatinine (Scr) progressively increased to 5.93 mg/dL. Abdominal computed tomography showed bilateral ureteral dilation with hydronephrosis and patchy hyperdense areas in the bladder lumen. Blood toxicology analysis confirmed mixed poisoning with brodifacoum (24.7 ng/mL) and bromadiolone (12 ng/mL). Treatment included intravenous vitamin K1, fresh frozen plasma infusion, cystoscopic evacuation of blood clots and bilateral ureteroscopic double-J stent placement, and continuous renal replacement therapy. At discharge, Scr decreased to 1.52 mg/dL. Ten days post-discharge, follow-up tests showed PT 11.1 s, INR 0.88, and Scr 1.01 mg/dL. Renal function and coagulation profiles remained within normal ranges during follow-up until June 20, 2025. Conclusion: This case confirms that AR poisoning can induce AKI through a dual mechanism encompassing anticoagulation-related nephropathy and obstructive nephropathy. Implementation of a multidisciplinary strategy successfully achieved renal function reversal, underscoring the importance of early identification of obstructive factors. These findings provide evidence-based guidance for clinical management of such complex cases.
