Noncontrast functional MRI of the kidneys.
Review in Current urology reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques enable noninvasive assessment of renal function. Diffusion-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, blood oxygen level-dependent MRI, magnetic resonance elastography, and arterial spin labeling are some of the emerging techniques that have potential to investigate renal function without the use of exogenous gadolinium contrast. This article discusses the principles of these techniques, as well as their possible applications and limitations. This will introduce the readers to these novel imaging tools, which appear to have promising futures.
