Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury: risk factors, pathophysiology and treatment.
Review in Nature reviews. Nephrology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 5 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 348 papers, 10 of them syntheses that pooled 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.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is the most common clinically important complication in adult patients undergoing open heart surgery, and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. In patients in intensive care units, CSA-AKI is the second most common type of AKI after septic AKI. In this Review, we explore the definition of CSA-AKI, discuss its epidemiology and identify its risk factors. We discuss current theories of the pathophysiology of CSA-AKI and describe its clinical course. Furthermore, we introduce diagnostic tools with particular reference to novel biomarkers of AKI and their potential utility; we analyse currently applied interventions aimed at attenuating AKI in patients undergoing cardiac surgery; and describe evidence from randomized controlled trials aimed at preventing or treating CSA-AKI. Finally, we explore issues in the use of renal replacement therapy, its timing, its intensity and its preferred modalities in patients with CSA-AKI, and we discuss the prognosis of CSA-AKI in terms of patient survival and kidney recovery.
