Acute kidney injury in postoperative shock: is hyperoncotic albumin administration an unrecognized resuscitation risk factor?
Article in Perioperative medicine (London, England), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe use of hyperoncotic albumin (HA) for shock resuscitation is controversial given concerns about its cost, effectiveness, and potential for nephrotoxicity. We evaluated the association between early exposure to hyperoncotic albumin (within the first 48 h of onset of shock) and acute organ dysfunction in post-surgical patients with shock.
methodsThis retrospective, cohort study included 11,512 perioperative patients with shock from 2009 to 2012. Shock was defined as requirement for vasopressors to maintain adequate mean arterial pressure and/or elevated lactate (> 2.2 mmol/L). Subsets of 3600 were selected after propensity score and exact matching on demographics, comorbidities, and treatment variables (> 30). There was a preponderance of cardiac surgery patients. Proportional odds logistic regression, multivariable logistic regression or Cox proportional hazard regression models measured association between hyperoncotic albumin and acute kidney injury (AKI), hepatic injury, ICU days, and mortality.
resultsHyperoncotic albumin-exposed patients showed greater risk of acute kidney injury compared to controls (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.04, 1.17.
conclusionsEarly exposure to hyperoncotic albumin in postoperative shock appeared to be associated with acute kidney injury. There did not appear to be any association with hepatic injury, mortality, or ICU days. The clinical and economic implications of this finding warrant further investigation.
