Exploring the Role of Central Venous Pressure in Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury: A Comprehensive Scoping Review.

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
backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical complication, affecting up to 30% of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients, and contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Recent studies indicate that increased central venous pressure (CVP) might significantly contribute to the development of AKI by causing venous congestion and impairing renal blood flow. However, the association between CVP and AKI in patients undergoing CABG has not been thoroughly investigated. This scoping review evaluates the current evidence on CVP as a hemodynamic marker associated with AKI in adults undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), with a particular focus on CABG where reported.
methodsThis scoping review, conducted over 12 weeks, followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and Arksey and O'Malley framework. A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and MEDLINE (2016-2024) identified studies on adult CPB-supported cardiac surgery, including CABG. Eligible studies reported quantitative CVP (intra- or postoperative) and standardized AKI criteria. No formal bias assessment was performed; data extraction was independently conducted by two reviewers using a standardized form.
resultsOf 1,717 studies screened, 16 met the inclusion criteria, mostly retrospective cohorts involving CABG patients. Overall, elevated CVP showed a positive association with postoperative AKI, though thresholds varied (intraoperative 6.5-12 mm Hg; postoperative>6.6-10.3 mm Hg). Several studies revealed a synergistic effect between high CVP and low mean arterial pressure (MAP). Despite consistent trends, heterogeneity in design and CVP assessment limits comparability. Most studies used the KDIGO criteria for AKI definition.
conclusionHigh CVP is commonly linked to the occurrence of AKI in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The evidence mapped in this review suggests a potential role for CVP monitoring in perioperative care, though clinical recommendations require validation through prospective trials. Future research should focus on establishing standardized CVP thresholds and evaluating their utility in AKI risk stratification.
