1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) are associated with an elevated risk of mortality and poor prognosis. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), a common complication in CHF patients undergoing contrast-enhanced procedures, exacerbates renal dysfunction and contributes to adverse outcomes. However, the relationship between the preoperative fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) and the risk of CI-AKI or all-cause mortality in CHF remains unclear. This study analyzed the correlation of FAR with the risk of CI-AKI and all-cause mortality in patients with CHF. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective observational study, CHF patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) were enrolled and grouped according to their FAR quartiles. The association between FAR and clinical outcomes was assessed using the multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses. Results: This study included 7,235 CHF patients with a mean age of 65.8 ± 11.7 years. Among these, 2,100 were female (29.0%), and 1,094 (15.1%) experienced CI-AKI. FAR showed a non-linear relationship with CI-AKI (p < 0.001). The risk of CI-AKI was significantly higher with increasing FAR. After adjusting for all the potential confounding variables, the risk of CI-AKI was highest in patients with FAR >0.150 (OR = 1.572, 95% CI 1.237-2.004, p < 0.001). Multivariate COX proportional risk model showed that the risk of all-cause mortality was highest in CHF patients with FAR > 0.150 (HR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.04-1.38, p = 0.014). Conclusion: FAR is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of CI-AKI in patients with CHF.
