Predictors of in-hospital mortality among adults with chronic kidney disease at a national tertiary hospital in Sierra Leone.
Article in Renal failure, 2026. 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
In-hospital outcomes among adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in low-resource settings are poorly characterized. We evaluated predictors of in-hospital mortality among adults admitted with CKD to Sierra Leone's national tertiary hospital, which houses the country's only public dialysis unit. We retrospectively reviewed case notes for all adults with CKD admitted to Connaught Hospital, Freetown, from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2024. CKD stage was assigned according to KDIGO estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) categories. The primary outcome was in-hospital death. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine prespecified predictors of mortality. Among 385 admissions (median age, 48 years [interquartile range, 38 to 57]; 57.1% men), 64.2% presented with KDIGO G5 CKD and 41.0% received dialysis. In-hospital death occurred in 95 patients (24.7%). Each 10 mL/min/1.73 m² lower eGFR was associated with higher odds of death (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.42 to 2.66), as were heavier proteinuria (aOR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.39 to 3.58 per one-category increase on dipstick) and diabetes (aOR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.10 to 3.52). Receipt of dialysis was associated with lower adjusted odds of death (aOR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.95). Age, sex, and hypertension were not statistically significant. Hospitalized adults with CKD in Sierra Leone typically present with advanced disease and heavy proteinuria, and approximately one in four died during hospitalization. Lower eGFR, greater proteinuria, and diabetes identify patients at highest risk, and access to dialysis was associated with lower short-term survival in this low-resource setting.
