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

Background: Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), which adjusts blood glucose levels using glycated hemoglobin to eliminate the influence of chronic hyperglycemia, has been demonstrated to have superior predictive value than absolute hyperglycemia. However, its predictive value for sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the SHR and the risk of developing SA-AKI. Methods: Data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were employed to depict the relationship between SHR and the likelihood of SA-AKI, determining an optimal cut-off value. Based on this threshold, patients were categorized into two groups. Logistic regression was utilized to evaluate SHR's predictive value for SA-AKI, with adjustments for confounding variables. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance baseline characteristics. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted. Results: A total of 2,249 patients were included. The RCS curve indicated a non-linear positive association between SHR and the likelihood of SA-AKI ( Conclusion: The findings indicate a non-linear positive relationship between SHR and the likelihood of SA-AKI in patients with sepsis, suggesting that SHR could be a potential predictor for SA-AKI.
