Clinical significance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in chronic kidney disease: a pilot study.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundContrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has the potential to improve the imaging of renal blood flow and renal lesional vascularity in real time with high temporal and spatial resolution. PURPOSE: This study investigated the clinical significance of real-time CEUS in cases of chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIALS AND
methodsIncluded patients were stratified according to their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): Group I (CKD stage I and II), eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m
resultsOf the 24 patients, 4 were classified into group I, 13 into group II, and 7 into group III. No significant differences were found among the three groups in the perfusion parameter analysis. No parameter was significantly positively correlated with eGFR. In the laboratory parameter analysis, significant differences in several parameters (RBC, BUN, SCr, glucose, TCh, phosphorus, TP, p < 0.05) were detected among the three groups. These parameters significantly correlated with eGFR (correlation coefficient, R = - 0.7625 to 0.6026).
conclusionsKidney perfusion parameters in CEUS do not correlate with kidney function in this pilot study.
