Role of imaging in the evaluation of renal dysfunction in heart failure patients.
Review in World journal of nephrology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Heart failure and kidney disease share common pathophysiological pathways which can lead to mutual dysfunction, known as cardiorenal syndrome. In heart failure patients, renal impairment is related to hemodynamic and non-hemodynamic factors. Both decreased renal blood flow and renal venous congestion due to heart failure could lead to impaired renal function. Kidney disease and worsening renal function are independently associated with poor prognosis in heart failure patients, both in acute and chronic clinical settings. The aim of this review is to assess the role of renal imaging modalities in the evaluation and management of heart failure patients. Renal imaging techniques could complete laboratory data, as estimated glomerular filtration rate, exploring different pathophysiological factors involved in kidney disease and adding valuable information about renal structure and function. In particular, Doppler examination of arterial and venous hemodynamics is a feasible and non invasive technique, which has proven to be a reliable method for prognostic stratification in patients with cardiorenal syndrome. The renal resistance index, a measure related to renal hemodynamics, can be calculated from the Doppler evaluation of arterial flow. Moreover, the analysis of Doppler venous flow patterns can integrate information from the arterial study and evaluate renal congestion. Other imaging modalities are promising, but still confined to research purposes.
