1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Contrast media administration during diagnostic and invasive procedures in high risk patients for nephrotoxicity is a common problem in clinical practice. The mechanisms involved in renal function impairment after contrast media administration are not precisely known but are intensively investigated, and new data have emerged in the literature lately. We present the case of a 72-year old male patient with diabetic nephropathy to whom a new generation iso-osmolar contrast medium (iodixanol) was administered during intravenous pyelography. Due to the contrast agent administration, the patient developed irreversible acute renal failure and became dialysis-dependent. This case suggests that even new generation contrast media (including iodixanol) may be severely nephrotoxic, when administered to high risk patients. Additionally we review the complex mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of contrast media nephrotoxicity.
