Identification of risk factors for renal failure after cardiac surgery by RFILE classification.
Article in American journal of cardiovascular disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication after cardiovascular surgery. The unclear etiology of this highly complex event challenges definition, diagnosis and prediction of AKI, and hence hampers adequate patient management. Identification of associated risk factors have the potential to overcome this limitation.
methodsThis retrospective study comprised 3574 patients who underwent cardiac surgery in a hospital in Germany. The patient cohort was interrogated for risk factors for AKI.
resultsThe analysis identified risk factors for AKI development, such as type of surgery (particularly bypass surgery) (P = 0.02), previous coronary surgeries (P < 0.01), the application of intra-aortic balloon pump in surgery (P < 0.01), and blood loss during surgery (P < 0.01). In addition, old age, duration of surgery as well as ischemia, perfusion and reperfusion times contributed to AKI development (P < 0.01). Further, perioperative hypothermia also appeared as putative risk factor in the analysis (P < 0.01).
conclusionsThis study identified several risk factors for the development of AKI after cardiac surgery. Further validation of these risk factors could allow the implementation of adequate patient management, and the appropriate implementation of risk-adverse interventions in cardiovascular surgery.
