A clinical risk score for predicting acute kidney injury in sepsis patients receiving normal saline in Northern Thailand: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Acute and critical care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundNormal saline is commonly used for resuscitation in sepsis patients but has a high chloride content, potentially increasing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). This study evaluated risk factors and developed a predictive risk score for AKI in sepsis patients treated with normal saline.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study utilized the medical and electronic health records of sepsis patients who received normal saline between January 2018 and May 2020. Predictors of AKI used to construct the predictive risk score were identified through multivariate logistic regression models, with discrimination and calibration assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the expected-to-observed (E/O) ratio. Internal validation was conducted using bootstrapping techniques.
resultsAKI was reported in 211 of 735 patients (28.7%). Eight potential risk factors, including norepinephrine, the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, serum chloride, respiratory failure with invasive mechanical ventilation, nephrotoxic antimicrobial drug use, history of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers use, history of liver disease, and serum creatinine were used to create the NACl RENAL-Cr score. The model demonstrated good discrimination and calibration (AUROC, 0.79; E/O, 1). The optimal cutoff was 2.5 points, with corresponding sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value scores of 71.6%, 72.5%, 51.2%, and 86.4%, respectively.
conclusionsThe NACl RENAL-Cr score, consisting of eight critical variables, was used to predict AKI in sepsis patients who received normal saline. This tool can assist healthcare professionals when deciding on sepsis treatment and AKI monitoring.
