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

This multicenter retrospective study identifies the major risk factors associated with the development of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and examines its incidence among patients in the surgical intensive care unit. The study involved adult patients (aged 18 years and older) who were admitted to surgical intensive care units (SICUs) after major surgical procedures. Data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 27, and tables and figures were utilized to present the results. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in surgical intensive care units (SICUs) was 53.4% (95% CI: 48.4%–58.4%). AKI was significantly associated with several factors, including sepsis (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 8.2, 95% CI: 5.3–12.3), trauma (AOR: 4.8, 95% CI: 3.4–7.7), chronic kidney disease (AOR: 3.3, 95% CI: 2.1–4.8), diabetes mellitus (AOR: 2.1, 95% CI: 1.1–4.2), blood transfusion (AOR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.5–7.3), and emergency surgery (AOR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.8–4.9). Patients hospitalized in surgical intensive care units have a significant rate of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Conditions such as sepsis, trauma, pre-existing chronic renal disease, diabetes mellitus, receiving blood transfusions, and undergoing emergency surgery are independently associated with an increased risk of AKI. To reduce the burden of AKI and improve patient outcomes, early detection and targeted preventative strategies are crucial for high-risk populations in surgical intensive care units.
