3DUS as an alternative to MRI for measuring renal volume in children with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
backgroundTotal kidney volume, measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is a validated disease progression marker in adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). However, in childhood, MRI is burdensome, explaining the need for alternatives.
methodsKidney volume (KV) was evaluated in 30 children with ADPKD, using three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS), applying the ellipsoid method and manual contouring (KV
resultsAll ultrasound volumetry methods showed significantly lower mean (± SD) KV (mL), compared with MRI-KV
conclusionsCompared with MRI, ultrasound volumetry was prone to underestimation. However, KV
