Effect of Contrast-Enhanced CT Brain on Renal Function in Potential Intraarterial Therapy Patients in the Emergency Department.

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
Introduction: Timely imaging is the cornerstone of hyperacute stroke management in emergency departments (EDs). However, the potential nephrotoxicity of iodinated contrast media remains a significant concern for clinicians when considering potential candidates for intraarterial therapy (IAT). This study aimed to investigate the effect of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) on renal function among potential IAT candidates in a local ED. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 112 patients at an ED in Hong Kong who underwent contrast-enhanced CT brain for IAT eligibility screening. Renal function was assessed via serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline and postprocedure. Subgroup analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of age, preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD; eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m Results: The overall incidence of PC-AKI was low at 0.89% ( Conclusions: Contrast-enhanced CT brain for the workup of potential IAT patients was not associated with clinically evident renal deterioration in this single-centered retrospective cohort. Prospective studies with larger sample sizes, standardized timing for blood tests, and systematic assessment of confounders are required to confirm these findings.
