Diffusion tensor imaging in acute pyelonephritis in children.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundDiffusion-weighted imaging plays a key role in the imaging of acute pyelonephritis by MRI. However the use of respiratory triggering is challenging and time-consuming in children. Diffusion tensor imaging without respiratory triggering might provide satisfying images of the moving kidneys.
objectiveTo compare mean diffusivity diffusion tensor images obtained with free breathing with diffusion-weighted images obtained with respiratory triggering. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty-one children with suspected acute pyelonephritis underwent axial diffusion tensor imaging acquisition with free breathing and axial and coronal diffusion-weighted imaging acquisitions with respiratory triggering. We compared image quality and detection of nephritis between the two sequences.
resultsDiffusion tensor imaging demonstrated agreement with diffusion-weighted imaging in all cases, with no difference in the detection of nephritis areas. The image quality was significantly better with diffusion tensor imaging (P<0.01).
conclusionDiffusion tensor imaging could replace diffusion-weighted imaging for diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis.
