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

backgroundFinding patients at risk of developing contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is important because of its associated complications. In the present study, the contribution of different variables, such as the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), the volume creatinine clearance (V/CrCl) ratio, the iodine-dose (I-dose)/CrCl ratio, or hypertension, to CI-AKI was evaluated.

methodsA total of 255 patients undergoing elective coronary angiography with or without intervention were enrolled and divided into a MetS and a control group. All patients were assessed for the development of CI-AKI after the procedures.

resultsCI-AKI occurred in 39.23% (51 of 130) of the MetS patients and 14.4% (18 of 125) of the control group (p < 0.001). The multivariable regression model showed that male sex and the use of statins decreased the risk of CI-AKI, and high triglyceride levels, I-dose/CrCl > 0.52, MetS, CrCl ≤60 mL/min, and age ≥70 years increased the risk of CI-AKI, independent of confounding factors. The difference in the mean V/CrCl ratio was statistically significant between patients who developed CI-AKI and those who did not show renal impairment (2.36 ± 1.35 vs. 1.43 ± 0.89, respectively; p < 0.001). The ROC curve analysis of I-dose/CrCl determined the best cutoff value for patients with and those without MetS as 0.51 and 0.63, with a sensitivity value of 68 and 72% and a specificity value of 73 and 74%, respectively.

conclusionsWe showed that MetS is a strong risk factor for CI-AKI in nondiabetic patients undergoing elective coronary interventions; and the I-dose/CrCl ratio is a strong predictor of CI-AKI in these patients. We suggest that clinicians identify MetS patients and calculate their I-dose/CrCl ratio before coronary interventions.
