Renal Allograft Rejection: Noninvasive Ultrasound- and MRI-Based Diagnostics.
Review in Contrast media & molecular imaging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
To date, allogeneic kidney transplantation remains the best available therapeutic option for patients with end-stage renal disease regarding overall survival and quality of life. Despite the advancements in immunosuppressive drugs and protocols, episodes of acute allograft rejection, a sterile inflammatory process, continue to endanger allograft survival. Since effective treatment for acute rejection episodes is available, instant diagnosis of this potentially reversible graft injury is imperative. Although histological examination by invasive core needle biopsy of the graft remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of ongoing rejection, it is always associated with the risk of causing substantial graft injury as a result of the biopsy procedure itself. At the same time, biopsies are not immediately feasible for a considerable number of patients taking anticoagulants due to the high risk of complications such as bleeding and uneven distribution of pathological changes within the graft. This can result in the wrong diagnosis due to the small size of the tissue sample taken. Therefore, there is a need for a tool that overcomes these problems by being noninvasive and capable of assessing the whole organ at the same time for specific and fast detection of acute allograft rejection. In this article, we review current state-of-the-art approaches for noninvasive diagnostics of acute renal transplant inflammation, i.e., rejection. We especially focus on nonradiation-based methods using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound.
