Assessment of cardiac structure and function in kidney failure: understanding echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging for the nephrologist.
Review in International urology and nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with kidney failure or on chronic dialysis. Patients on chronic dialysis have a 10- to 50-fold increased risk of sudden cardiac death compared to patients with normal kidney function. Adverse changes in cardiac structure and function may not manifest with clinical symptoms in patients with kidney failure and, therefore, pose a challenge in identifying cardiac dysfunction early. Fortunately, there are multi-modality cardiac imaging techniques available, including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, that can help our understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiac dysfunction in kidney failure. This review describes the benefits and limitations of these two commonly available cardiac imaging modalities to assess cardiac structure and function, thereby aiding nephrologists in choosing the most appropriate investigative tool based on individual clinical circumstances. For the purposes of this review, cardiac imaging for detection of coronary artery disease has been omitted.
