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

backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a well-known postoperative complication. Remifentanil, which is a commonly used ultra-short-acting opioid, has antiinflammatory and sympatholytic effects with improvement of microcirculation.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted to clarify the effect of the use of remifentanil during CPB on the incidence of postoperative AKI. Patients who underwent valve surgery while under cardiopulmonary bypass between January 2012 and December 2014 in our hospital were enrolled in this study. The incidences of postoperative AKI were compared in patients who received remifentanil during CPB (group R) and those who did not (group N). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine risk factors for AKI.

resultsEighty patients received remifentanil (group R) and 50 patients did not (group N). The incidences of AKI were not significantly different in group R and group N (51% vs. 36%, P = 0.10). In multivariate regression analysis, age [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.048, 95% CI 1.008-1.089, P = 0.017], male gender (adjusted OR 3.101, 95% CI 1.303-7.378, P = 0.011), and use of preoperative calcium channel blockers (adjusted OR 3.240, 95% CI 1.302-8.063, P = 0.011) and diuretics (adjusted OR 2.673, 95% CI 1.178-6.066, P = 0.019) were associated with the incidence of AKI. The use of remifentanil was not associated with AKI (adjusted OR 2.321, 95% CI 0.997-5.402, P = 0.051).

conclusionThe use of remifentanil during CPB did not decrease the incidence of postoperative AKI after cardiac surgery.
