Pilot Study of Diagnostic Performance of Serum Creatinine/Cystatin C Ratio for Pseudo-AKI.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: We conducted a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio (CrCyR) in distinguishing pseudo-acute kidney injury (AKI) from true AKI. Methods: This study included patients with confirmed AKI (excluding rhabdomyolysis) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (May 2023-August 2024) and pseudo-AKI cases identified through a literature review (1994-2025). CrCyR values (unit: l/dl) measured before (CrCyR Results: Of the 239 patients, 197 had true AKI and 42 had pseudo-AKI (mechanisms: reduced creatinine excretion [ Conclusion: CrCyR
