Acute kidney injury due to diarrhoeal diseases in children: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMJ paediatrics open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
introductionAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a major health concern, disproportionately affecting children in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs). Diarrhoeal diseases, a leading cause of paediatric morbidity and mortality, are significant contributors to AKI.
methodsThis study systematically reviewed literature published post-2000 on three groups of children: those hospitalised with diarrhoea who developed AKI (Diarrhoea/AKI), those hospitalised with AKI attributable to diarrhoea (AKI/Diarrhoea), and those with diarrhoea-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (D
resultsAfter screening 1895 titles and abstracts, 92 studies were included. Most focused on D
conclusionDiarrhoea is a common yet underreported associated clinical finding among children with AKI, particularly in resource-limited settings. Enhanced monitoring of kidney outcomes in children with diarrhoea is essential to address the overlapping burden of these conditions and improve outcomes globally.
