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

purposeTo evaluate the prognostic value of plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in relation to Mehran risk score (MRS) for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).

methodsWe prospectively enrolled 283 consecutive patients treated with PPCI for STEMI. NT-proBNP was measured, and the MRS was calculated. The primary end point was CIN, defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine ≥0.5 mg/dL from baseline within 48-72 h after contrast medium exposure.

resultsThe incidence of CIN was 9.2 %. Patients with CIN had higher NT-proBNP and MRS than those without CIN. The value of NT-proBNP was similar to MRS for CIN (C statistics 0.760 vs. 0.793, p = 0.689). After adjustment for MRS, elevated NT-proBNP (defined as the best cutoff point) was significantly associated with CIN. The addition of elevated NT-proBNP to MRS did not significantly improve the C statistics, over that with the original MRS model (0.833 vs. 0.793, p = 0.256). In addition, similar results were observed for in-hospital and long-term major adverse clinical events.

conclusionsAlthough NT-proBNP did not add any prognostic value to the MRS model for CIN, NT-proBNP, as a simple biomarker, was similar to MRS, and may be another useful and rapid screening tool for CIN and death risk assessment, identifying subjects who need therapeutic measures to prevent CIN.
