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

A study by Le Xuan et al. suggested that the lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) may aid in predicting sepsis-associated acute kidney injury. However, overlapping receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve confidence intervals, creatinine-only acute kidney injury (AKI) definitions, and single-point biomarker assessments limit interpretation. Given its single-centre retrospective design, broader validation with dynamic biomarkers and kidney-specific comparators is needed before the LAR can be integrated into sepsis risk stratification.
