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

purposeAltered perioperative glycemic control may contribute to the development of renal dysfunction in cardiac surgery patients. Nevertheless, whether it is intraoperative hyperglycemia or increased glucose variability that affects postoperative outcomes is not yet clear. The aim of this study was to assess the association of intraoperative glucose concentration and variability with acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 3,598 patients who underwent cardiac surgery between November 1, 2006 to December 31, 2016. The time-weighted average glucose (TWAG) and coefficient of variation of glucose measurements were both used as measures of intraoperative glucose control with multivariable logistic regression to evaluate their relationship to postoperative AKI.

resultsThe intraoperative glucose coefficient of variation was an independent risk factor for AKI after cardiac surgery (highest quartile odds ratio, 1.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.09 to 1.75; P = 0.01). Nevertheless, the intraoperative TWAG did not remain in the final multivariable model of postoperative AKI.

conclusionIntraoperative glucose variability, but not the average glucose concentration itself, may be a risk factor for AKI after cardiac surgery.
