Effect of albumin usage during cardiopulmonary bypass on postoperative acute kidney injury in cardiac surgery patients: A historical cohort study.
Review in Annals of cardiac anaesthesia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common and serious postoperative complication and is associated with an increased risk of mortality, morbidity, length of hospital stay, and costs. We evaluated the effect of albumin usage on postoperative AKI in patients who underwent on-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG). Methods: This non-randomized cohort study was conducted on data from adult patients who underwent elective CABG, from March of 2015 to March of 2019. We assessed two groups of patients including the albumin (who received 50 Results: Overall, we reviewed 506 patients chart [260 (51.4%) in albumin and 246 (48.6%) in non-albumin group]. In both groups, serum Cr, BUN, and GFR increased in 72 hours postoperatively compared with preoperative levels. This increase was greater in the non-albumin group than in the albumin group. However, the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups (p > 0.05). None of the patients developed renal failure or required dialysis. Conclusion: We concluded that the use of albumin in prime solution did not have a statistically significant effect on postoperative renal dysfunction after CABG.
