DTI of the kidney in children: comparison between normal kidneys and those with ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction.
Article in Magma (New York, N.Y.), 2020. 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
objectiveTo compare renal diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters in patients with or without ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction.
methodsPatients that underwent functional MR urography (MRU) with renal DTI were retrospectively selected. Kidneys deemed normal on T2-weighted images and functional parameters were used as controls and compared to those kidneys with morphologic and functional findings of UPJ obstruction. DTI included a 20-direction DTI with b values of b = 0 s/mm
results118 normal kidneys from 102 patients (median age 7 years, IQR 6-15 years; 58 males and 44 females) were compared to 22 kidneys from 16 patients (median age 13 years, IQR 3-15 years; 9 males and 7 females) with UPJ obstruction. Mean FA values were significantly lower (0.31 ± 0.07; n = 22) in kidneys with UPJ obstruction than normal kidneys (0.40 ± 0.08; n = 118) (p < 0.001). ADC was marginally significantly increased (p = 0.01) and track length was not significantly different (p = 0.24).
conclusionOur results suggest that DTI-derived metrics including FA and ADC are potential biomarkers to differentiate kidneys with UPJ obstruction and assess renal parenchymal damage.
