Acute renal infarction: a single center experience.
Article in Journal of nephrology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
backgroundAcute renal infarction is a rare condition whose diagnosis is often delayed. Major risk factors include atrial fibrillation, valvular or ischemic heart disease, renal artery thrombosis/dissection and coagulopathy.
methodsWe reviewed the medical records of 18 patients admitted to our Nephrology Department between 1999 and 2015 for acute renal infarction diagnosed by computed tomography. Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy was performed in some patients during follow-up to assess parenchymal lesions and estimate differential kidney function.
resultsMean age was 59.8 years. Major associated risk factors included hypertension (44 %), obesity (33 %), atrial fibrillation (28 %), peripheral vascular disease (17 %), smoking (17 %), prior thromboembolic event (11 %), diabetes (11 %), estroprogestinic therapy (11 %). Seventy-two percent of patients presented with flank pain. Mean serum creatinine was 1.2 ± 0.6 mg/dl. Acute kidney injury occurred as the initial manifestation in two patients. Patients were managed conservatively, with low molecular weight heparin (83 %) or aspirin (11 %). At the end of follow-up serum creatinine was 1.1 ± 0.3 mg/dl; one patient remained on chronic hemodialysis. 58 % of patients who underwent renal scintigraphy after a median of 8 months had a reduced contribution of the previously affected kidney to total renal function.
conclusionRisk factors associated with the development of chronic kidney disease following renal infarction are unknown. In our subjects, renal function remained stable in all but one patient who developed end stage renal disease. Further studies should focus on etiology and evolution of kidney function in patients with acute renal infarction.
