Incidence of acute kidney injury among high-risk adult patients undergoing iso-osmolar contrasted computed tomography scans: a prospective cohort study.
Article in African health sciences, 2025. 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
Background: The safety of iso-osmolar contrast media (IOCM) in patients at risk of contrast-induced kidney injury (CIAKI) is not well-established. Objective: To determine the incidence of CIAKI among high-risk adult patients undergoing iso-osmolar contrasted Computed Tomography (CT) scans. Methods: A prospective descriptive cohort study of patients at high risk of CIAKI was done. Questionnaires were used to collect clinical and examination findings. Blood samples were collected at baseline and at 48 hours post-administration of IOCM to assess changes in serum creatinine. Those found to have a ≥ 0.5mg/dl absolute increase in serum creatinine from the baseline within 48 hours of contrast administration were considered to have developed CIAKI. Pearson's Chi-square test was used to compare patients with and without CIAKI. Logistic regression models were used to determine associations of CIAKI. Results: The cumulative incidence of CIAKI was 9% (20/223), (95%CI - 5.8451-13.5215). No factors were independently associated with CIAKI in this study. Conclusion: The incidence of CIAKI among high-risk adult patients undergoing CT scans was 9%. There were no factors significantly associated with CIAKI.
