Preoperative eGFR, age, and sex predict early postoperative renal changes in acromegaly.

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: Acromegaly induces renal alterations. However, early postoperative renal changes following rapid hormonal correction remain unclear. We assessed early postoperative changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and their associated factors, focusing on preoperative eGFR, age, and sex. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 44 patients with acromegaly who underwent trans-sphenoidal surgery between 2012 and 2024. We analyzed renal function using preoperative eGFR and changes in eGFR at postoperative day 14 (POD14) relative to preoperative values (ΔeGFR). Patients were stratified by preoperative eGFR (≥ 90 vs <90 mL/min/1.73 m Results: The eGFR had decreased significantly by POD14, especially among patients with higher preoperative eGFR (ΔeGFR: -27, Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that rapid postoperative hormonal reductions in acromegaly are associated with early eGFR declines, particularly in patients with higher baseline eGFR, females, and younger patients. While eGFR declines are modest, patients with advanced age and metabolic comorbidities may be at risk of clinically relevant renal impairment and require careful monitoring.
