Evaluation of the protective effect of N-acetylcysteine on contrast media nephropathy.
Article in Journal of renal injury prevention, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionIntravenous contrast agents can cause acute decline in kidney function, especially in patients with risk factors.
objectivesIn this study, we aimed to examine the ameliorative effect N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to reduce the incidence of contrast nephropathy. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study was a prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial on 150 patients who underwent coronary angiography. The study was carried out on patients undergoing coronary angiography. Patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups of intervention group and control subjects. Intervention group took NAC 600 mg orally twice a day. It was administered one day before angiography and continued until the second day after angiography. Control subjects received saline only. Serum creatinine was measured before and three days after coronary angiography.
resultsThere was no significant difference between intervention and control groups at baseline (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant decline in creatinine level among NAC patients (P = 0.001). Saline group had significantly higher proportion of nephropathy cases than NAC patients Conclusion: We found that the consumption of NAC is useful for contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) prevention.
