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

Background: Snakebite is a neglected tropical disease with a high burden in South Asia, particularly India. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most serious complications of snake envenomation, which has significant morbidity, mortality, and risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence, predictors, and outcomes of snakebite-associated AKI (SBE-AKI) in a tertiary care center. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 325 patients with snakebite envenomation, admitted to our institution. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment variables were compared between patients with and without AKI. AKI was staged according to KDIGO criteria. Renal biopsy was performed selectively in patients with prolonged renal failure, dialysis dependence, delayed renal recovery, or suspicion of irreversible renal injury. Outcomes assessed included recovery, progression to CKD, and mortality. Results: Of the 325 patients, 79 (32.1%) developed AKI. Patients with AKI were significantly younger (mean age 34 vs. 45 years, Conclusion: SBE-AKI is a common and serious complication of snakebite. Delay in ASV administration, hemodynamic instability, proteinuria, advanced AKI stage, and cortical necrosis predict poor outcomes. Early ASV, timely dialysis, and long-term nephrology follow-up are essential to improve survival and reduce CKD progression.
