Preoperative renal functional reserve as a predictor of acute kidney injury in young adults with congenital heart disease.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Due to advances in medical and surgical care, there are more adults than children living with congenital heart disease (CHD). Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication following cardiac surgery in patients with CHD, with creatinine lacking sensitivity for early detection. Renal functional reserve (RFR), the kidney's capacity to increase filtration under stress, has emerged as a potential predictor of AKI. Our primary study objective was to evaluate whether preoperative RFR, using both creatinine clearance (CrCl) and cystatin C estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) methods, predicts AKI following cardiopulmonary bypass in young adults with CHD. As a secondary objective, we compared RFR in CHD patients to that of healthy controls. This prospective cohort study included 30 young adults (ages 18-40) with acyanotic CHD and 8 healthy controls with normal baseline kidney function by serum creatinine. Preoperative RFR was measured using CrCl and cystatin C eGFR before and after a protein load. Postoperative AKI was diagnosed using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Twelve (40%) CHD patients developed AKI, exhibiting significantly lower RFR when compared to those without AKI (median CrCl RFR: 9.6 vs. 35.0 mL/min/1.73m
