Elucidation of Renal Scars in Children With Vesicoureteral Reflux Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound: A Pilot Study.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionVesicoureteral reflux is a common disorder in children but can result in kidney scarring following acute pyelonephritis. The gold standard diagnostic to detect renal scars in children is
methodsIn this study, we performed CEUS in 7 children with documented renal scars by radiographic imaging consistent with reflux nephropathy.
resultsIn all subjects, CEUS detected all previously known radiologic abnormalities as well as detecting new areas of hypoenhancing renal parenchyma. None of the patients experienced any serious adverse events. DISCUSSION: This study represents the first report of using CEUS to characterize renal scars in children with reflux nephropathy. We conclude that CEUS is a highly sensitive, rapid, and cost-effective diagnostic imaging modality for detecting and monitoring renal scars in children with vesicoureteral reflux.
