1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Kidney transplantation has developed into a widespread procedure to treat end stage renal failure, with transplantation results improving over the years. Postoperative complications have decreased over the past decades, but are still an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Early accurate diagnosis and treatment is the key to prevent renal allograft impairment or even graft loss. Ideally, a diagnostic tool should be able to detect post-transplant renal dysfunction, differentiate between the different causes and monitor renal function during and after therapeutic interventions. Non-invasive imaging modalities for diagnostic purposes show promising results. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have a number of advantages, such as the lack of ionizing radiation and the possibility to obtain relevant tissue information without contrast, reducing the risk of contrast-induced nephrotoxicity. However, most techniques still lack the specificity to distinguish different types of parenchymal diseases. Despite some promising outcomes, MRI is still barely used in the post-transplantation diagnostic process. The aim of this review is to survey the current literature on the relevance and clinical applicability of diagnostic MRI modalities for the detection of various types of complications after kidney transplantation.
