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

purposePrevious cohort studies suggest that intraoperative hypotension is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in noncardiac surgical patients. We sought to ascertain that intraoperative hypotension is independently associated with AKI within the first 3 days after surgery in a contemporary cohort of noncardiac surgery patients in whom clinicians strove to avoid profound intraoperative hypotension.

methodsThis was a post hoc secondary analysis of the multicentre EU HYPROTECT registry, which includes patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery who underwent predictive blood pressure monitoring. The primary outcome of this secondary analysis was AKI within the first 3 days after surgery. To quantify the duration and severity of intraoperative hypotension we calculated the area under a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mmHg. We used logistic regression analysis to identify factors independently associated with AKI.

resultsWe analysed 697 patients. 62 of these 697 patients (9%) developed AKI within the first 3 days after surgery. In multivariable binary logistic regression analysis adjusted for confounding variables, the area under a MAP of 65 mmHg was independently associated with AKI within the first 3 days after surgery (OR 1.03 [95% CI 1.01-1.05] per 10 mmHg*min; P < 0.001).

conclusionOur secondary analysis of the EU HYPROTECT registry shows that, in a contemporary population of noncardiac surgery patients in whom clinicians strove to avoid profound intraoperative hypotension, intraoperative hypotension is independently associated with AKI within the first 3 days after surgery.
