1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundShrunken pore syndrome (SPS), as a selective glomerular hypofiltration syndrome, has received increasing attention. Therefore, we hypothesised that patients with SPS have a high risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI).

methodsThis trial was a retrospective cohort study. Patients who received isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were continuously reviewed. Estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) were calculated by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations. The SPS was defined as an eGFR based on cystatin C < 70% of the eGFR based on creatinine. Postoperative AKI was diagnosed according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, and the occurrence of AKI within seven days after surgery was followed up.

resultsA total of 1277 patients were included, and the incidence of postoperative AKI was 23.2% (296/1277), and 12.8% (164/1277) patients were diagnosed with SPS before surgery. The incidence of AKI in the SPS group was significantly higher than that in the non-SPS group (33.5% vs. 21.7%, adjOR = 1.613, 95%CI 1.121-2.322,

conclusionsSPS is an independent risk factor for AKI after CABG. It will bring a new insight for an accurate clinical assessment of the risk of postoperative AKI.
