Changes in urine dipstick proteinuria and risk of dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury and subsequent ESRD.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with poor prognosis. Dialysis-requiring AKI and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) represents the severe form of AKI. Proteinuria is a reliable prognostic factor for kidney diseases. However, no study has investigated the association between changes in proteinuria and the risk of severe AKI. We included 2,021,548 Koreans who underwent health check-ups in 2005-2006 and 2009. Changes in proteinuria were categorized into four groups (negative: negative → negative; resolved: proteinuria ≥ 1+ → negative; incident: negative → proteinuria ≥ 1+; persistent: proteinuria ≥ 1+ → proteinuria ≥ 1+). based on urine dipstick test. Over a median follow-up of 11.84 years, we assessed adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) (adjusted HR [95% CI]) for incident dialysis-requiring AKI and ESRD subsequent to AKI. The risk for dialysis-requiring AKI was highest in persistent proteinuria (3.643 [2.881-4.607]), followed by incident (1.922 [1.694-2.181]), and resolved proteinuria (1.453 [1.194-1.767]), compared with negative proteinuria (reference). The risk for ESRD also increased in order of persistent (22.883 [15.067-34.755]), incident (7.508 [5.548-10.163]), resolved (4.813 [2.970-7.800]), and negative proteinuria (reference) with the magnified HR. This pattern of relationship was identically observed in participants without chronic kidney disease. All patterns of change in proteinuria were significantly associated with the increased risk of dialysis-requiring AKI and ESRD, even in resolved proteinuria. Change in proteinuria may be potential predictor for severe AKI.
