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

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with long-term consequences and poor outcomes in the neonatal intensive care unit. Its precocious diagnosis represents one of the hardest challenges in clinical practice due to the lack of sensitive and specific biomarkers. Currently, neonatal AKI is defined with urinary markers and serum creatinine (sCr), with limitations in early detection and individual treatment. Biomarkers and risk factor scores were studied to predict neonatal AKI, to early identify the stage of injury and not the damage and to anticipate late increases in sCr levels, which occurred when the renal function already began to decline. Sepsis is the leading cause of AKI, and sepsis-related AKI is one of the main causes of high mortality. Moreover, preterm neonates, as well as patients with post-neonatal asphyxia or after cardiac surgery, are at a high risk for AKI. Critical patients are frequently exposed to nephrotoxic medications, representing a potentially preventable cause of AKI. This review highlights the definition of neonatal AKI, its diagnosis and new biomarkers available in clinical practice and in the near future. We analyze the risk factors involving patients with AKI, their outcomes and the risk for the transition from acute damage to chronic kidney disease.
