Frequency of acute kidney injury following intravenous contrast medium administration: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Radiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05283512 (Intravenous vs. Oral Hydration to Reduce the Risk of Post-Contrast Acute Kidney Injury After Intravenous Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography in Patients With Severe Chronic Kidney Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 142 papers, 8 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeTo perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled studies examining the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and other outcomes in patients exposed to intravenous (i.v.) contrast medium compared with patients who underwent an imaging examination without contrast medium or were otherwise unexposed (control group). MATERIALS AND
methodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were searched for all articles published through September 2011 that contained search terms related to nephrotoxicity following intravenous contrast medium administration. Two independent reviewers identified studies in which the incidence of AKI in patients exposed to i.v. contrast medium was directly compared with the incidence of AKI in unexposed patients through analysis of changes in serum creatinine level or estimated glomerular filtration rate 48-72 hours following imaging procedures or admission. Study characteristics and outcomes of AKI, dialysis, and mortality were extracted by using a standardized protocol. Relative risk (RR) was calculated by using random-effects models and was tested in subgroups of different patient comorbidities, contrast medium types, and AKI diagnostic criteria. RR results of less than 1.00 indicated that there was a higher incidence of these outcomes in the group that did not receive contrast medium (non-contrast medium group).
resultsOf the 1489 studies originally identified, 13 nonrandomized studies (0.9%) representing 25,950 patients met inclusion criteria. In the group that received contrast medium (contrast medium group), risk of AKI (RR = 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.62, 1.02; P = .07), death (RR = 0.95; 95% CI: 0.55, 1.67; P = .87), and dialysis (RR = 0.88; 95% CI: 0.23, 3.43; P = .85) was similar, compared with the risk of AKI in the non-contrast medium group. This pattern was observed regardless of i.v. contrast medium type, diagnostic criteria for AKI, or whether patients had diabetes mellitus or renal insufficiency.
conclusionControlled contrast medium-induced nephropathy studies demonstrate a similar incidence of AKI, dialysis, and death between the contrast medium group and control group. SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: http://radiology.rsna.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1148/radiol.12121460/-/DC1.
