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

purposeIdentifying the primary etiology of cardio-renal syndrome in a timely manner remains an ongoing challenge in nephrology. We hypothesized that hypertensive kidney damage can be distinguished from chronic glomerulonephritis at an early stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) using ultrasound (US) Doppler sonography.

methodsFifty-six males (age 54 ± 15, BMI 28.3 ± 3.5 kg/m

resultsHT-CKD patients had reduced proximal renal cortex perfusion as well as reduced total and proximal renal cortex arterial area. Proximal renal cortex arterial area ≤0.149 cm

conclusionsEvidence of diminished arterial vascularity or perfusion of renal proximal cortex, both derived from US Doppler, could be helpful in differentiating hypertensive nephropathy from glomerulonephritis-related CKD.
