Is there association between statin usage and contrast-associated acute kidney injury after intravenous administration of iodine-based contrast media in enhanced computed tomography?
Article in European radiology, 2020. 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
objectivesContrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is one of the leading causes of new-onset renal failure in hospitalized patients. Statin has been evaluated for its protective effect against CI-AKI but rarely in patients receiving intravenous (IV) administrations of iodine-based contrast media for enhanced computed tomography (CT).
methodsIn total, 12,371 patients who underwent contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic CT were retrospectively reviewed and stratified into statin users and statin nonusers. Subgroup analyses comparing high-intensity statins with low- to moderate-intensity statins were conducted within statin users and similar comparisons were performed within statin users stratified based on baseline eGFR.
resultsOverall, CI-AKI events did not occur less in statin users compared with non-statin users (p = 0.342). Within statin users, CI-AKI events did not decrease in high-intensity statin users compared with low- to moderate-intensity statin users (p = 0.355). Moreover, no significant difference in CI-AKI events was found between high-intensity statin users and low- to moderate-intensity statin users even after stratifying the patients with baseline eGFR.
conclusionsCollectively, statin was not significantly associated with the risk of CI-AKI events in patients undergoing contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic CT and high-intensity statins did not show significant association with CI-AKI over low- to moderate-intensity statins in the subgroup analysis. KEY POINTS: • Statin is not associated with risk of CI-AKI events in patients undergoing intravenous administration of contrast-enhanced CT. • CI-AKI incidence among high-intensity statin users was not significantly different from that of low- to moderate-intensity statin users.
