Acute Kidney Injury in the Emergency Department: Key Predictors for Early Renal Replacement Therapy.
Article in The Eurasian journal of medicine, 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
backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition in emergency departments (EDs), often associated with significant mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to identify predictors of renal replacement therapy (RRT) requirement in patients presenting with AKI who did not meet absolute indications for RRT at ED evaluation but subsequently required RRT during follow-up.
methodsA total of 266 patients with AKI who were assessed in the ED were enrolled in this prospective observational study and subsequently monitored in the Internal Medicine Intensive Care Unit (ICU) between October 2022 and September 2023. Patients were allocated into 2 analytically defined categories: those not requiring renal replacement therapy [RRT (-)] and those who required RRT [RRT (+)]. Laboratory and clinical data were recorded prospectively.
resultsDuring follow-up, 30.8% of the patients (n = 82) required RRT due to complications. The overall mortality rate of the study cohort was 32.3%. Regression analysis identified nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use (OR: 7.944, 95% CI: 1.583-39.871, P = .012) and elevated creatinine levels (OR: 1.321, 95% CI: 1.017-1.715, P = .037) as independent predictors of RRT requirement. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that the area under the curve for creatinine levels was 0.818 (95% CI: 0.761-0.874, P < .001). A creatinine cut-off value of 3.15 mg/dL was determined, with a sensitivity of 79.3% and a specificity of 70.1%.
conclusionNSAID use and elevated serum creatinine at ED presentation are independent predictors of early RRT requirement in AKI patients. These factors may assist clinicians in identifying high-risk patients who may benefit from closer monitoring or earlier intervention. Cite this article as: Akdoğanlar Aİ, Satar S, Acehan S, et al.
