Impact of occult renal dysfunction on postoperative acute kidney injury and late prognosis in elderly patients undergoing coronary artery bypass.
Observational study in BMC nephrology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPreoperative occult renal dysfunction (PORD), defined as a normal serum creatinine (Scr) level with glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m², may worsen outcomes after cardiac surgery. This study aimed to evaluate whether PORD is associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes in elderly patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted in 1,157 patients aged ≥ 70 years with normal Scr who underwent CABG at four centers. Patients were classified into PORD and control groups according to eGFR. Propensity score matching was used to balance preoperative characteristics. Logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and in-hospital mortality. Long-term survival was assessed using Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards models.
resultsPORD was present in 29.3% of elderly patients with normal Scr. Compared with controls, the PORD group had higher preoperative Scr, higher rates of postoperative AKI (33.33% vs. 14.30%), and higher in-hospital mortality (6.19% vs. 3.55%). PORD independently predicted postoperative AKI and in-hospital mortality, and was associated with increased long-term mortality after CABG.
conclusionsNearly one-third of elderly CABG patients with normal Scr have PORD, which is associated with a higher risk of postoperative AKI, in-hospital death, and long-term mortality. Routine eGFR assessment is recommended to improve preoperative renal risk stratification in this population. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
