Incidence and risk factors of contrast-induced nephropathy after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in hepatocellular carcinoma.

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
backgroundTranscatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is widely used for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of this study was to investigate incidence and risk factors of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after TACE in patients with HCC.
methodsIn this single-center retrospective study, we examined 461 consecutive TACE sessions in 260 patients between January 2003 and October 2015. CIN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine levels by ≥ 0.5 mg/dl or ≥ 25% from baseline within 72 h after TACE. We calculated incidence rate of CIN and tried to identify its risk factors by logistic regression analysis.
resultsTwenty-one cases of CIN (5%) were observed in 461 TACE sessions. One patient required subsequent hemodialysis transiently. In univariate analysis, tumor size > 5 cm [odds ratio (OR) 5.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.34-14.14, p < 0.001], chronic kidney disease (OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.05-6.14, p = 0.04), serum hemoglobin level [OR 0.79 (per 1 g/dl increase), 95% CI 0.64-0.98, p = 0.03] and serum albumin level [OR 0.44 (per 1 g/dl increase), 95% CI 0.19-1.02, p = 0.05] were associated with the development of CIN. Stepwise logistic regression methods showed that tumor size > 5 cm (OR 7.81, 95% CI 2.99-20.46, p < 0.001) and serum albumin [OR 0.29 (per 1 g/dl increase), 95% CI 0.11-0.75, p = 0.01] were risk factors of CIN.
conclusionsIn this study, HCC tumor size and lower serum albumin level were independent predictors of CIN after TACE.
