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

backgroundKidney fibrosis is a key driver of progression of kidney diseases. Renal biopsies remain the gold-standard approach to specifically diagnose and stage renal fibrosis at present. However, there is a lack of multi-dimensional pictures showing renal function, histology, and imaging of the fibrotic kidney. SUMMARY: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) strategies have been rapidly evolving during the past couple of decades, especially driven by advances in technology. Recently, several pioneer and remarkable studies demonstrated that advanced functional MRI (fMRI) tools could be useful for the evaluation of kidney fibrosis and progression, which provides more opportunities to benefit from the significant value of fMRI tools for clinical implementation. KEY MESSAGES: fMRI will be a novel approach to evaluate interstitial fibrosis and prognosis in kidney disease.
