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

backgroundTo evaluate the incidence and potential predisposing factors for the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in asphyxiated neonates undergoing hypothermic treatment.

methodsThis retrospective study was conducted at the Fondazione IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori, Monza, Italy. All neonates above 34 weeks of gestation diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and treated with hypothermia, weighing more than 1800 g, admitted from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2022, were included. AKI was defined according to the neonatal KDIGO classification.

resultsA total of 75 neonates were enrolled, including 13 (17%) with severe HIE. The incidence of AKI was 35%, with 62% of cases identified as a reduction in diuresis, 27% as changes in creatinine and oliguria, and only 11% as isolated creatinine elevation. The rate of AKI was significantly higher in infants with severe HIE (p < 0.001). The development of AKI added significantly (aOR = 41.2, p = 0.007) to the probability of death, even after adjusting for severe HIE. Infants who developed AKI required more inotropes, had higher rates of hyponatremia (serum sodium < 125 mEq/L), and were less likely to normalize lactate levels within 24 h of birth.

conclusionsIn asphyxiated newborns, reduced kidney perfusion can cause kidney impairment in nearly 40% of those undergoing treatment. Enhancing the detection of AKI is crucial for improving patient outcomes. We recommend proactive monitoring of lactate trends, urinary output, and serum sodium levels to enable early interventions that protect kidney function and improve outcomes for these vulnerable infants.
