Chronological renal resistive index increases related to atherosclerotic factors, and effect of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundRenal resistive index (RI) calculated using renal Doppler ultrasonography (RDU) has recently been considered a clinically important indicator of renal outcome, survival, and systemic arteriosclerotic disorders. However, the cause of RI elevation remains unclear. The present study was an effort to first, identify the factors related to RI elevation, and second, understand the effect of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RAS-Is) on renal RI elevation.
methodsWe carried out this single-center case-control study among 100 CKD patients, recruited from outpatients who underwent RDU more than twice, at least a year apart. The rate of renal RI change per year (dRIpy) was chosen as the dependent variable: [(last examined renal RI-initial examined renal RI)/(initial examined renal RI × period of observation) × 100 (%/year)]. We examined the association between dRIpy and other clinical and biological data.
resultsAmong 100 CKD patients, the average serum creatinine and eGFR were 1.76 ± 0.84 mg/dL and 37.0 ± 18.2 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that the elevation of RI was related to DM, eGFR, high LDL, and the use of RAS-Is. In particular, RAS-Is could contribute towards suppressing the elevation of RI in CKD patients and towards preventing the development of renal failure in CKD patients.
