Evaluation of selected Doppler parameters of renal blood flow in patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
Article in Central European journal of urology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionDespite the risk of complications, which does not exceed several percent, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) causes morphological and functional changes in kidneys as a result of the effect of the generated shock wave energy on the renal parenchyma structure. MATERIAL AND
methodsForty-two patients were included in the study. The mean age in the studied group was 50.9 years (SD ±13.7). Extracorporeal lithotripsy treatments were carried out during the period from January 2014 to April 2014 using an electromagnetic shock wave generator. The spectrum of blood flow of the interlobar arteries of both the treated and the opposite kidney was investigated. On the basis of these spectrums, parameters such as: resistive index (RI), pulsatility index (PI) and acceleration time (AT) were calculated.
resultsThe ESWL treatment causes a statistically significant increase of the RI parameter in the ipsilateral kidney (p <0.0001) as well as in the opposite kidney (p <0.0001). The RI value decreases after 92 hours after the treatment, reaching statistical significance in both kidneys (p <0.005). The PI parameter substantially increases after treatment in both kidneys (p <0.0001), and decreases after 92 hours (p <0.0001). Statistically significant correlations are shown between RI as well as the PI parameters and the patient's age.
conclusionsExtracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of renal stones causes temporary impairment of the renal perfusion in both ipsilateral and contralateral kidneys. The main factor that determines the value of the RI and PI parameters is the patient's age.
