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
backgroundContrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is still a major concern for referring physicians, especially in the setting of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary-PCI (pPCI). To evaluate whether glutathione sodium salt (GSS) infusion impacts favorably on CA-AKI, an unplanned exploratory data analysis of the GSH 2014 trial was performed.
methodsOne hundred patients with STEMI were assigned at random to an experimental group (No. 50) or to a placebo group (No. 50). Treatment consisted of an intravenous infusion of GSS lasting over 10 min before p-PCI. The placebo group received the same quantity of normal saline solution. After the interventions, glutathione was administered in the same doses to both groups at 24, 48 and 72 h.
resultsCA-AKI occurred in 5 out of 50 patients (10%) allocated to the experimental group (GSS infusion) and in 19 out of 50 patients (38%) allocated to the placebo group (
conclusionsthe results of this sub-study, which show a significant trend towards an improved nephroprotection in the experimental group, led to the hypothesis of a possible new prophylactic approach to counteract CA-AKI using repeated GSS infusion. Subsequent studies with specific clinical outcomes would be necessary to confirm these data.
