    Forest plot of outcome of contrast-induced nephropathy. For each trial, the small square corresponds to the observed relative risk for contrast-induced nephropathy, and the horizontal line represents the 95% CIs. A relative risk of 1, identified by the vertical line, occurs when the effect is equivalent for the intervention and comparison therapy. CIN, Contrast-induced nephropathy; NAC, N-acetylcysteine.
