An equation to estimate the renal cortex volume in chronic kidney disease patients.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe renal cortex volume is associated with the kidney function and chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk factors, and it may also be a prognostic factor. We aimed to create an equation to estimate the renal cortex volume of CKD patients in day-to-day clinical practice.
methodsThe subjects included 116 ethnic Japanese CKD patients who were ≥ 18 years of age. The renal size (length, width and thickness) was measured by ultrasound. The body height, weight, year of age, sex, birth weight, gestational age, diabetes status, hypertension status, family history of CKD and dialysis and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were collected as expected dependent variables. We made models for the equation regarding the renal cortex volume measured by non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging as a true renal cortex volume. Stepwise multiple linear regression analyses were performed with the log-transformation of dependent and independent variables. The accuracy of the models was compared using the leave one out cross-validation method.
resultsThe estimated volume of the renal cortex (cm
conclusionsThis study provided a new method for estimating the renal cortex volume in day-to-day clinical practice.
