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

BACKGROUND Post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) is a contributor to adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to investigate whether fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), a novel inflammation-based risk index, can predict the occurrence of PC-AKI in patients undergoing elective PCI. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 291 patients who underwent elective PCI from June 2017 to June 2019. PC-AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL (≥26.5 μmol/L), or ≥1.5 times baseline within 48 to 72 hours after PCI. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC), continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were calculated to make comparison for PC-AKI prediction. RESULTS PC-AKI occurred in 43 patients (14.8%). FAR showed an AUC of 0.691 (95% confidence interval: 0.64-0.74; P<0.001) in predicting PC-AKI. In stepwise multivariable logistic regression, FAR was independently associated with the occurrence of PC-AKI along with hypertension, diabetes, hemoglobin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and left ventricular ejection fraction. FAR significantly improved PC-AKI prediction over Mehran risk score in the continuous NRI and IDI, but not AUC. CONCLUSIONS FAR is independently associated with the occurrence of PC-AKI, and can significantly improve PC-AKI prediction over Mehran risk score in patients undergoing elective PCI.
