Safety and Efficacy of Tolvaptan for the Prevention of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease.
Article in Kidney diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundTolvaptan is a promising drug for the prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) because it induces aquaresis without adversely affecting renal hemodynamics. CI-AKI is a major cause of acute renal failure associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
objectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of different doses of tolvaptan for the prevention of CI-AKI.
methodNinety-one consecutive patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) were prospectively enrolled as the tolvaptan group in this study (T-group; 7.5-mg:
resultsOne patient developed CI-AKI in the T-group versus 3 in the C-group (1.1 vs. 3.3%,
conclusionsCompared to hydration alone, tolvaptan combined with hydration could be a safer method for preventing CI-AKI while avoiding exacerbation of heart failure, and a dosage of 7.5-mg might be safer than 15-mg.
