Deep learning approaches for time series prediction of renal recovery in medical critically Ill patients with acute kidney injury: LSTM, GRU, and transformer models.

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
backgroundRenal recovery after acute kidney injury (AKI) significantly influences prognosis, clinical management, and resource allocation. We aimed to evaluate deep learning architectures using high-resolution intensive care unit (ICU) time-series data with explicit missingness handling to predict renal recovery within 7 days after acute kidney injury (AKI).
methodsWe conducted an ambispective cohort study of adult medical ICU patients with AKI admitted between December 2022 and February 2025, with temporal validation from March to September 2025. Hourly physiological, laboratory, ventilator, and medication data were extracted from the ICU electronic medical record. Long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and Transformer were trained to predict 7-day renal recovery. Missing data were handled using last observation carried forward (LOCF), LOCF with time-gap encoding (LOCF-TG), and LOCF with time-gap encoding and masking (LOCD-TG-M). Model performance was assessed.
resultsAmong 1,493 ICU admissions, 438 patients with AKI were included, of whom 162 (37%) experienced renal recovery. The temporal validation cohort included 108 patients. The Transformer with LOCF-TG-M achieved the highest performance (AUROC 0.97; F1 score 0.89; accuracy 0.91), followed by the GRU with LOCF-TG-M (AUROC 0.96). SHAP analysis identified key predictors, including lower AKI stage, sepsis-associated AKI, cardiorenal syndrome, higher urine output, lower shock index, lower serum potassium and blood urea nitrogen, a lower comorbidity, and indicators of respiratory and circulatory stability—such as a higher SpO₂/FiO₂ ratio, lower mean airway pressure, and higher dynamic compliance—were also important.
conclusionTransformer with LOCF-TG-M accurately predicted 7-day renal recovery in critically ill patients with AKI and identified clinically meaningful predictors to support individualized management.
