Quality of Life Changes Post-PCI With Contrast-induced Nephropathy.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 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
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) on quality of life (QoL) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Pakistan. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 5325 patients who underwent PCI, divided into CIN (n = 1250) and non-CIN (n = 4075) groups. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and procedural details were recorded. QoL was assessed using a standardized questionnaire before and after PCI, covering physical functioning, pain, mobility, anxiety/depression, and overall health. Statistical analyses compared QoL scores between groups and identified predictors of change. Results: Patients who developed CIN exhibited a significant decline in post-PCI QoL across all domains compared to the non-CIN group (p < 0.05). CIN, older age, diabetes, lack of hydration protocol use, prolonged hospital stay, and lower baseline QoL were independent predictors of poorer QoL outcomes. Comorbidities were more prevalent in the CIN group, including diabetes (64.0 % vs. 47.8 %), hypertension (68.0 % vs. 60.8 %), and CKD Stage 3 or worse (28.0 % vs. 8.6 %) (all p < 0.05). CIN patients more frequently underwent PCI for acute coronary syndrome, received higher contrast volumes, and had lower use of preventive measures. Post-PCI complications such as heart failure (36.0 %), dialysis requirement (32.0 %), and prolonged hospital stays (60.0 %) were significantly higher in CIN patients. Conclusion: CIN adversely affects QoL following PCI, particularly in high-risk patients. Preventive strategies and early intervention are essential to mitigate CIN-related complications and improve patient-centered outcomes. Further prospective, multi-center studies are warranted.
