Predictive enrichment for the need of renal replacement in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury: combination of furosemide stress test and urinary biomarkers TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7.
Article in Annals of intensive care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn sepsis, initial resuscitation with fluids is followed by efforts to achieve a negative fluid balance. However, patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) often need diuretic or renal replacement therapy (RRT). The dilemma is to predict whether early RRT might be advantageous or diuretics will suffice. Both the Furosemide Stress Test (FST) and measurements of the urinary biomarkers TIMP-2*IGFBP-7, if applied solely, do not provide sufficient guidance. We tested the hypothesis that a combination of two tests, i.e., an upstream FST combined with downstream measurements of urinary TIMP-2*IGFBP-7 concentrations improves the accuracy in predicting RRT necessity.
methodsIn this prospective, multicenter study 100 patients with sepsis (diagnosed < 48h), AKI stage ≥ 2, and an indication for negative fluid balance were included between 02/2020 and 12/2022. All patients received a standardized FST and urinary biomarkers TIMP-2*IGFBP-7 were serially measured immediately before and up to 12 h after the FST. The primary outcome was the RRT requirement within 7 days after inclusion.
results32% (n = 32/99) of SA-AKI patients eventually required RRT within 7 days. With the FST, urine TIMP-2*IGFBP-7 decreased within 2 h from 3.26 ng
conclusionsThe combined application of an upstream FST followed by urinary TIMP-2*IGFBP-7 measurements supports highly specific identification of SA-AKI patients requiring RRT. Upcoming interventional trials should elucidate if this high-risk SA-AKI subgroup, identified by our predictive enrichment approach, benefits from an early RRT initiation.
