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

STUDY

objectiveComputed tomography (CT) is an important imaging modality in diagnosing a variety of disorders. Although systolic heart failure is a well-known risk factor for postcontrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI), few studies have evaluated the association between diastolic dysfunction and PC-AKI. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate whether PC-AKI occurs more likely in patients with diastolic dysfuction.

methodsThis retrospective study was conducted by collecting the data of patients who visited an emergency medical center between January 2008 and December 2014. Patients who underwent contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) in the emergency department and had undergone echocardiography within 1 month of CECT were included. We defined PC-AKI as an elevation in the serum creatinine level of ≥0.5 mg/dL or ≥25% within 72 hours after CECT.

resultsWe included 327 patients, aged 18 years and older, who had a CECT scan and underwent an echocardiography within 1 month of the CECT scan at our institute over 20 years. The mean value of estimated glomerular filtration rate and E/E (early left ventricular filling velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity ratio) was 51.55 ± 7.66 mL·min·1.73 m and 11.56 ± 5.33, respectively. A total of 32 patients (9.79%) developed PC-AKI. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease was significantly higher in the PC-AKI group than in the non-PC-AKI group. Echocardiographic findings revealed that E/E was significantly increased in patients with PC-AKI. The logistic regression analysis showed that a higher E/E value (odds ratio [OR] 5.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.51-25.23, P = .015) was a significant risk factor for PC-AKI.

conclusionThis study demonstrated that, among the echocardiographic variables, E/E was an independent predictor of PC- AKI. This, in turn, suggests that diastolic dysfunction may be a useful parameter in PC-AKI risk stratification.
