Low Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Levels in Paediatric sepsis Correlate With Acute Kidney Injury: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 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
aimsTo investigate the association between serum ALP levels and the development of AKI in paediatric patients with sepsis.
methodsRetrospective screening of a computerized database of 4 Israeli regional hospitals for children (0-18 years) hospitalized between 1.01.2000-1.06.2024 with ICD-9 sepsis-related diagnoses (study group) and age- and sex-matched non-septic febrile patients (controls). Serum ALP levels were sex- and age-adjusted and described as standard deviation scores (SDS).
resultsOf 809 952 screened hospitalizations, 701 records comprised the study group. Their median (IQR) age was 17 (10-38) months, 53% were males. Nadir ALP-SDS was lower in the sepsis group compared to controls (-1.65 ± 1.11 vs. -0.97 ± 1.36, p < 0.001) and further lower in those with AKI, which occurred in 23% of the sepsis cohort (-1.95 ± 1.16 vs. -1.56 ± 1.09, p < 0.001). Hospital stay was longer in the AKI compared to non-AKI group [median (IQR): 7 (4, 12) vs. 4 (3, 5) days, p < 0.001]. Lower ALP-SDS was independently associated with AKI [OR (95% CI): 0.7 (0.6-0.8), p < 0.001], after controlling for CRP and leucocyte count.
conclusionsALP was lower in sepsis patients compared to controls, and significantly lower in AKI vs. non-AKI group, suggesting it as an additional marker of infection severity.
