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

backgroundTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is the second most common presentation of trauma victims. Among the various non-neurological complications after TBI, acute kidney injury (AKI) is not uncommon.

aimTo establish the incidence, risk factors, and predictors of AKI in TBI victims. The secondary aim was to study the impact of AKI development on the outcomes of patients with TBI.

methodsThis was a single-center retrospective cohort study of TBI victims with a Glasgow coma scale (GCS) ≤ 11 in an apex trauma center in a metropolitan city.

resultsThe incidence of AKI after TBI was 11%. The risk factors for AKI after TBI were old age (

conclusionEvery tenth TBI victim suffers from AKI. AKI after TBI can be predicted by the patient's underlying comorbidities, on arrival low GCS, high APACHE-2 score, shock, rhabdomyolysis, and high ICP. The occurrence of AKI in TBI victims adversely affects outcome variables; however, this may be a reflection of the severe nature of TBI in the AKI group. New research is needed to understand the effects of AKI on outcome variables.
