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

backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the serious complications in acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and the mortality rate is very high. Early identification of high-risk patients is critical. Therefore, this study aimed to develop prediction models for AKI in ACLF patients based on machine learning (ML) algorithms.

methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 1,076 adult patients diagnosed with ACLF, with AKI defined according to the International Club of Ascites criteria. Participants were randomly allocated into training (

resultsAmong participants, 250 (23.2%) developed AKI during hospitalization. Multivariate LR analyses identified ten significant variables in the training set: age, hypertension, total bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, blood uric acid, international normalized ratio, hepatic encephalopathy, abdominal infection, and sepsis. The RF model performed best in the test set (AUC-ROC = 0.899; AUC-PR = 0.806).

conclusionsThe ML models can be reliable tools for predicting AKI in patients with ACLF. The RF model performed the best and can help medical clinicians to better identify patients with high risk of AKI in ACLF.
