Association between carotid intima-media thickness and acute kidney injury following isolated coronary artery bypass surgery.
Article in Cardiovascular journal of Africa. 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
objectiveThe association between pre-operative carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and early postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) following isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was investigated.
methodsData were sought retrospectively of 237 patients (166 male, 71 female; mean age 61.4 ± 8.1 years; range: 32-74), operated on for isolated CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in a single centre between June 2014 and December 2020, with a serum creatinine level < 1.5 mg/dl and normal carotid arteries on Doppler ultrasonography. AKI diagnosis was made according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes 2012 Acute Kidney Injury Guideline. Patients were grouped as group 1 with AKI in the early postoperative period (
resultsAKI occurred in 63 (26.6%) patients. Pre-operative CIMT was significantly higher in the AKI group (
conclusionsPre-operative CIMT was found to be an independent predictor of AKI in the early postoperative period of isolated CABG.
