Effect of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide on acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass grafting: a retrospective comparative cohort study.

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
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) that results in worse prognosis. Studies have shown that recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rh-BNP) reduces renal injury. However, its treatment effects for AKI in patients underwent cardiac surgery are unclear. This study sought to explore the efficacy of rh-BNP in patients with AKI after bypass surgery. Methods: This study included patients with AKI diagnosed within 4 days after CABG during the period January 2016 to December 2020. AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. The clinical characteristics and outcomes were collected. Patients were divided into BNP and non-BNP groups according to whether rh-BNP was injected intravenously after the operation. Multivariable logistic regression was adjusted the confounding effects between clinical characteristics and rh-BNP. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to perform a sensitivity analysis. Results: A total of 395 patients, including 56 and 339 patients in the BNP and non-BNP groups, respectively, were included in this study. The decreasing trend of postoperative serum creatinine levels (P<0.001) and postoperative urine volume (P=0.001) within 4 days of surgery were independent associated with rh-BNP. From PSM, 175 patients, including 44 and 131 patients in the BNP and non-BNP groups, respectively, were included in this study. The decreasing trend of postoperative serum creatinine levels in the BNP group was significantly stronger than that in the non-BNP group (0.04±0.28 Conclusions: Rh-BNP can reduce creatinine levels and increases postoperative urine volume to improve renal function in patients.
