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

Renal scintigraphy of a renal graft is a non-invasive imaging used to evaluate renal graft dysfunction in relay postoperative period. We presented the case of a 42-year-old man when underwent renal transplantation and developed anuria with severe renal impairment. Renal scintigraphy yielded no visualization of the renal graft. Subsequently, the patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy. The graft was found to have normal perfusion, and a surgical biopsy suggestive of an acute perfusion injury and mild tubular necrosis. The patient recovered with conservative therapy. This case highlights a common limitation of renal scintigraphy in a post-renal-transplantation patient with severe renal impairment.
