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

Introduction Renal dysfunction is a significant variable in determining the outcome of surgery, such as cardiopulmonary bypass graft and valvular replacement, used to treat cardiovascular diseases. In Saudi Arabia, the incidence of renal failure and diabetes is higher than in most western populations. Our aim is to determine the renal outcome of patients who underwent cardiac surgery at King Faisal Cardiac Center from 2014 to 2017. Methods This a retrospective cohort study using a non-probability consecutive sampling technique for selection of the study population to assess the renal outcome in cardiac surgery patients using cardiopulmonary bypass from May 2014 to June 2017 in King Faisal Cardiac Center, Jeddah. Patients older than 18 years of age undergoing cardiac surgery, with available data, were included. Categorical variables were summarized by percentages and frequencies, and continuous variables by means and standard deviations, or medians and interquartile ranges if their distributions were skewed. Logistic regression was done with post-op renal impairment as the dependent variable and pre-op renal dysfunction, age, gender, smoking status, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and cardiopulmonary bypass time as independent variables. Results Our sample size included 244 patients who underwent cardiac surgery in this study period; their mean age was 60.5 (SD =7.5) with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 28.62 (SD=5.19). Among our population, 73% (n = 179) were males and 27% (n =66) were females. Two percent (2%) of patients (n = 5) died within 30 days, 4% of patients (n = 10) with temporary dialysis, 8% of patients (n = 19) with postoperative renal dysfunction, and no patients with permanent dialysis. The data showed a significant relationship between levels of creatinine preoperatively and postoperative renal dysfunction (p-value = 0.0001, OR=1.05, 95% CI of 1.031 to 1.064). Conclusion The main predictor of poor renal outcomes for cardiac surgery is preoperative creatinine. While other factors, such as age, gender, body mass index, cardiopulmonary bypass time, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, did not show any risk to the postoperative renal outcome.
