Incidence of acute kidney injury after noncardiac surgery in patients receiving intraoperative dexmedetomidine: a retrospective study.
Article in BJA open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication and is associated with increased hospital length of stay and 30 day all-cause mortality. Unfortunately, we have neither a defined strategy to prevent AKI nor an effective treatment. Methods: We collected data from 6625 patients who underwent major non-cardiothoracic cancer surgery. Before and after propensity score matching, we compared the incidence of postoperative AKI in patients who received intraoperative dexmedetomidine and those who did not. AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (creatinine alone values) criteria and calculated for postoperative Days 1, 2, and 3. Results: Twenty per cent ( Conclusions: The administration of dexmedetomidine during major non-cardiothoracic cancer surgery is not associated with a reduction in AKI within 72 h after surgery.
