How Much Do We Know About Acute Kidney Injury Following Pneumonectomy? A Retrospective Study.
Article in Thoracic research and practice, 2026. 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
objectiveAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant postoperative complication of thoracic surgery, but data on AKI after pneumonectomy remain scarce. This study aimed to determine the incidence, risk factors, and short-term outcomes of AKI, as defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes 2012 criteria, occurring within one week after pneumonectomy. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis retrospective single-center cohort included adults who underwent elective pneumonectomy between 2008-2018. Patients with preoperative chronic kidney disease or AKI, or with missing data, were excluded. Demographic, perioperative, and postoperative data were collected from hospital records. AKI was identified based on postoperative creatinine values measured within one week. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors.
resultsOf the 308 patients, 166 met the inclusion criteria. The incidence of AKI was 12% (19 stage 1, 1 stage 2); none required renal replacement therapy. In multivariate analysis, increased body mass index [odds ratio (OR): 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.21,
conclusionReducing the incidence of AKI may improve patient outcomes, and AKI should be considered a key quality indicator in thoracic surgery. Identifying and understanding the risk factors for AKI may provide the foundation for predictive models and guide strategies to prevent this complication.
