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

In patients with mechanical ventilation or critically ill patients there are various mechanisms for kidney function impairment, ranging from systemic disease to intrinsic kidney etiology. Kidney biopsy is the study of choice for the diagnosis, treatment decision and prognosis of kidney disease. Ten critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation underwent kidney biopsy using 2 kidney biopsy techniques: the standard technique (prone position) in 5 patients and the lateral position (left lateral decubitus position) in 5 patients. Most of our patients had a kidney histological diagnosis secondary to autoimmune disease that required induction treatment. Despite the risk factors for complications, only one patient received a transfusion of packed red blood cells. The prone group had the highest number of deaths due to the severity of the patient's disease and unrelated to the procedure. Kidney biopsy in patients with mechanical ventilation is a high-risk procedure that should be performed on selected patients who can benefit from a histological diagnosis.
