Postoperative Serum Creatinine Serves as a Prognostic Predictor of Cardiac Surgery Patients.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundSerum creatinine, an important diagnostic indicator for acute kidney injury (AKI), was considered to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the significance of postoperative serum creatinine in predicting the prognosis of cardiac surgery patients.
methodsThe Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database was used to extract the clinical data. Adult (≥18 years) cardiac surgery patients in the database were enrolled. The correlation of postoperative serum creatinine with lengths of intensive care unit (ICU) stay was analyzed with Spearman correlation, and the association of postoperative serum creatinine with hospital mortality was analyzed with chi-square tests. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify postoperative serum creatinine as an independent prognostic factor for hospital mortality.
resultsA total of 6,001 patients were enrolled in our study, among whom, 108 patients (1.8%) died in the hospital. Non-survivors had much higher postoperative serum creatinine levels (initial: 0.8 vs. 1.2 mg/dl,
conclusionsThis study demonstrated the potential to use postcardiac surgery serum creatinine as an outcome indicator.
