Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin: Biological Aspects and Potential Diagnostic Use in Acute Kidney Injury.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome characterized by a rise in creatinine or a decrease in urinary flow, according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition. It is diagnosed in 15% of inpatients and 50% of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), and it is related to increased mortality. As part of a global effort aimed at the elimination of preventable deaths from AKI, there is a growing interest in identifying biomarkers that can be point-of-care and that are not influenced by the variability in patient characteristics in a relevant way. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), particularly in its 25 kDa form, which is exclusively released by renal tubules, has emerged as a promising biomarker with potential use in the diagnosis of AKI in the critically ill, including its use in guiding the initiation and/or weaning of renal replacement therapy (RRT). The objective of this review is to summarize the current understanding of NGAL in acute settings, emphasizing biological and genomic insights.
