Predictive Value of Cortical Thickness Measured by Ultrasonography for Renal Impairment: A Longitudinal Study in Chronic Kidney Disease.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundKidney size is associated with renal function, however it is not elucidated whether kidney size is a risk for the progression of chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of morphological evaluation of kidney size by ultrasonography for the progression of renal dysfunction.
methodsMorphological parameters including kidney length, volume, cortical thickness, and medullary thickness were measured by ultrasonography in 87 patients with chronic kidney disease, and adjusted by body size. Renal functions at baseline and after 2 years were measured and the associations of morphological parameters to decline in renal function over 2 years were analyzed.
resultsHeight-adjusted cortical thickness was correlated to decline in renal function (
conclusionsWe provide new insights into the utility of measuring cortical thickness by ultrasonography for predict future renal impairment.
