Renal profile and the associated outcome of patients with acute kidney injury undergoing dialysis in Renal Unit at a Tertiary Healthcare Facility in Western Kenya.
Article in African health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is characterized by sudden decline or loss of kidney function. Objective: This study aimed to determine the renal profile and the outcome of AKI patients undergoing dialysis. Methods: Retrospective cohort study was conducted from January 2015 to December 2021. Results: Of the 69 AKI patients enrolled in this study, 33 (47.8%) were men, and 36 (52.2%) were women. Majority (55.56%; 10) of the AKI patients died within one month of diagnosis, 44.44% (8) died after one month. Independent predictors of survival were creatinine level (adjusted hazard ratio= 20.54, 95% CI: 0.15, 2862.17; P = 0.23), urea level (adjusted hazard ratio= 0.56, 95% CI: 0.05, 6.78; P = 0.65), phosphate level (adjusted hazard ratio= 5.94, 95% CI: 0.51, 69.57; P = 0.16), calcium level (adjusted hazard ratio= 0.31, 95% CI: 0.04, 2.67; P = 0.29), sodium level (adjusted hazard ratio= 0.53, 95% CI: 0.27, 10.21; P = 0.67), potassium level (adjusted hazard ratio= 5.3, 95% CI: 0.38, 73.56; P = 0.21), chloride level (adjusted hazard ratio= 0.23, 95% CI: 0.03, 1.66; P = 0.15). Conclusion: AKI patients had a mortality rate of 26% after initiation of dialysis.
