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

backgroundRhabdomyolysis is a common condition in intensive care units (ICUs), but data on acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with rhabdomyolysis remain limited, particularly in North Africa.

aimTo determine the incidence of AKI during rhabdomyolysis and to identify its associated factors among ICU patients.

methodsWe conducted a prospective, single-center correlational study from January to July 2024 in the ICU of Rabta University Hospital in Tunisia, including patients diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis. Clinical and laboratory parameters, along with the McMahon score, were assessed at the time of inclusion. Patients were then monitored during their ICU stay to detect the occurrence of AKI.

resultsAKI occurred in 51.9% of the 54 patients included in the study. Univariate analysis identified several admission parameters associated with AKI, including elevated levels of creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), phosphorus, creatinine, and transaminases, as well as low bicarbonate and albumin levels. The optimal McMahon score threshold for predicting AKI was 4.75, with a sensitivity of 78.6% and specificity of 76.9%. In multivariate analysis, only initial LDH [

conclusionSimple admission biomarkers such as LDH and bicarbonate should be considered for early AKI risk assessment in rhabdomyolysis, particularly in settings with limited access to advanced diagnostic tools.
