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

ObjectiveCirrhosis with acute kidney injury is associated with a high mortality rate, particularly in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy. This study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with cirrhosis and acute kidney injury receiving continuous renal replacement therapy.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Patients with cirrhosis with acute kidney injury who underwent continuous renal replacement therapy were identified. Predictors were selected using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, and a multivariable logistic regression model was developed. Model performance was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration analysis, and decision curve analysis. Internal validation was performed via bootstrapping.ResultsThe following three independent predictors of in-hospital mortality were identified in the 452 eligible patients: international normalized ratio at continuous renal replacement therapy initiation, presence of sepsis, and vasoactive drug use. The nomogram showed strong discrimination (AUC = 0.828, 95% confidence interval: 0.790-0.866) and consistent internal validation (AUC = 0.825, 95% confidence interval: 0.781-0.870). Calibration and decision curve analyses indicated good agreement and clinical usefulness.ConclusionsA nomogram incorporating international normalized ratio, sepsis, and vasoactive drug use may help estimate short-term mortality risk in patients with cirrhosis and acute kidney injury receiving continuous renal replacement therapy. As the analysis was based on single-center data, and no external validation was performed, the findings should be interpreted cautiously and verified in future studies.
