Acute kidney injury in children with acute febrile tropical illness.
Observational study in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 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
backgroundWe aimed to determine the incidence, predictors, and outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children hospitalized with acute febrile tropical illnesses (AFTI).
methodsThis prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary-care centre in north India over 1.5 years. Consecutive children (2 months-18 years) admitted with AFTI were enrolled. AKI was defined using KDIGO criteria based on serum creatinine and urine output. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI in children with AFTI. Secondary outcomes included predictors for AKI, need for organ support, and mortality. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression followed by multivariable logistic regression with bootstrap internal validation was used to identify independent predictors of AKI.
resultsAmongst 585 enrolled children with AFTI, AKI occurred in 68 (11.6%), of whom 30 (44.2%) had severe AKI (KDIGO stage 2/3). With respect to etiology, AKI was significantly more frequent in dengue with warning signs, malaria, leptospirosis and brucellosis. Children with AKI had significantly higher requirements for intensive care interventions, including intubation, inotropes, kidney replacement therapy, and longer duration of hospitalization. Mortality was markedly higher in the AKI group (19.1% vs. 0.19%, p < 0.001). On multivariable logistic regression, age (months), inotropic support and use of ≥ 2 nephrotoxic medications in 24 h period were independently associated with development of AKI.
conclusionsAKI affects one in ten children hospitalized with AFTI and is strongly associated with disease severity, organ support, and mortality. Age, inotropic support and use of ≥ 2 nephrotoxic medications were independent predictors of AKI in children with AFTI.
