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

backgroundThe primary objective was to examine the association between the lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) and the prognosis of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).

methodsUtilizing the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV, v2.0) database, we categorized 703 adult AKI patients undergoing CRRT into survival and non-survival groups based on 28-day mortality. Patients were further grouped by LAR tertiles: low (< 0.692), moderate (0.692-1.641), and high (> 1.641). Restricted cubic splines (RCS), Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression, inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW), and Kaplan-Meier curves were employed.

resultsIn our study, the patients had a mortality rate of 50.07% within 28 days and 62.87% within 360 days. RCS analysis revealed a non-linear correlation between LAR and the risk of mortality at both 28 and 360 days. Cox regression analysis, which was adjusted for nine variables identified by LASSO, confirmed that a high LAR (>1.641) served as an independent predictor of mortality at these specific time points (

conclusionA high LAR (>1.641) was found to be an autonomous predictor of mortality at both 28 and 360 days in critically ill patients with AKI undergoing CRRT.
