Determination of Glomerular Filtration Rate After Contrast-Enhanced CT Among Critically Ill Patients: Support for a New Procedure.
Observational study in Critical care explorations, 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
objectivesTo measure glomerular filtration rate using iohexol plasma clearance (mGFRiohexol) in critically ill patients using the high doses of iohexol administered at CT and to evaluate its agreements with urinary creatinine clearance (uClcr) and estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs), calculated from plasma concentrations of creatinine (eGFRcr) and cystatin C (eGFRcys).
designProspective observational cohort study.
settingICUs across Southeast Sweden. PATIENTS: Critically ill adult patients. INTERVENTIONS AND MEASUREMENTS: Twenty-six ICU patients were given high doses of iohexol (range, 27-140 mL) for contrast-enhanced CT, whereafter blood samples were taken in the elimination phase for determination of mGFRiohexol. Plasma iohexol concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and mGFRiohexol was calculated. Standard dose (5 mL) of iohexol was administered the following days to compare low-dose clearance results with the high-dose clearance results. Six-hour uClcr was performed four times a day and averaged. MAIN
resultsMean ± sd mGFRiohexol after CT was 77.4 ± 38.1 mL/min (n = 26), and uClcr was 97.3 ± 58.2 mL/min (n = 25) in the critically ill patients. There was a strong positive correlation between mGFRiohexol determined with high and low doses of iohexol in patients with normal or high mGFRiohexol (coefficient of determination [R2] = 0.88; p < 0.001) and between mGFRiohexol and uClcr (R2 = 0.87; p < 0.001). eGFRcr overestimated mGFRiohexol and eGFRcys underestimated mGFRiohexol.
conclusionsmGFRiohexol after contrast-enhanced CT compares well with mGFRiohexol after standard low-dose iohexol respectively uClcr. Over- and underestimation of mGFRiohexol by eGFRcr and eGFRcys is probably explained by increased tubular secretion of creatinine and increased production of cystatin C in intensive care patients.
