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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThere are few reports on renal dysfunction in the remote period after biventricular repair, and biomarkers for early detection of renal dysfunction are not well understood. We examined whether early fluctuation of biomarkers of renal function occurs in the remote period after biventricular repair in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).

methodsFourteen patients with CHD after biventricular repair were included. The examination values obtained by cardiac catheterization test and renal function indices based on blood and urine sampling were compared.

resultsThe median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of creatinine was 113 mL/min/1.73 m², and the median eGFR of cystatin C was 117 mL/min/1.73 m². A urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥10 mg/gCr was considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in 6 (43%) patients. There was a significant difference in right ventricular ejection fraction and deviation in right ventricular end-diastolic volume from the normal value between the 2 groups divided by UACR. Cyanosis before biventricular repair was noted in 2 (25%) patients with UACR <10 mg/gCr and in 4 (67%) patients with UACR ≥10 mg/gCr.

conclusionsIncreased UACR was noted in 43% of patients. In patients with UACR ≥10 mg/gCr, right heart system abnormality was observed, and several patients had cyanosis before radical treatment. Measurement for UACR may be able to detect renal dysfunction early in the postoperative remote period.
