Kinetics of Renin Concentrations in Infants Undergoing Congenital Cardiac Surgery.
Article in Journal of intensive care medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundElevated renin has been shown to predict poor response to standard vasoactive therapies and is associated with poor outcomes in adults. Similarly, elevated renin was associated with mortality in children with septic shock. Renin concentration profiles after pediatric cardiac surgery are unknown. The purpose of this study was to characterize renin kinetics after pediatric cardiac surgery.
methodsSingle-center retrospective study of infants who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) utilizing serum samples obtained in the perioperative period to measure plasma renin concentrations (pg/mL). Time points included pre-bypass and 1, 4, and 24 h after initiation of CPB.
resultsFifty patients (65% male) with a median age 5 months (interquartile range (IQR) 3.5, 6.5) were included. Renin concentrations peaked 4 h after CPB. There was a significant difference in preoperative and 4 h post-CPB renin concentration (4 h post-CPB vs preoperative: mean difference 100.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 48.9-152.4,
conclusionsWe describe renin kinetics in infants after CPB. Future studies based on these data can now be performed to evaluate the associations of elevated renin concentrations with adverse outcomes.
