A Small Increase in Serum Creatinine within 48 h of Hospital Admission Is an Independent Predictor of In-Hospital Adverse Outcomes in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Findings from the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in the China Project.
Article in Cardiology research and practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) that has been associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients with STEMI. Acute tubular damage may be reflected by serum creatinine (Scr) values that do not meet the criteria for AKI. Methods: This analysis included 19,424 patients from the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China, Acute Coronary Syndrome Project ( Results: Patients with a small increase in Scr within 48 h of hospitalization were significantly more likely to experience MACE (11.2% vs. 9.1%; Conclusion: A small increase in Scr during hospitalization in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI that does not meet the criteria for AKI is a risk factor for in-hospital adverse outcomes. This effect is maintained in patients with normal Scr at hospitalization.
