Establishment of normal reference ranges for total and separate glomerular filtration rates in living kidney donors by Gates' method after renal depth measured using single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 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
backgroundThe underestimation of renal depth by Tønnesen formula in Gates' method, which has been confirmed by many scholars, leads to the underestimation of both separate glomerular filtration rate (gSGFR) and total glomerular filtration rate (gTGFR). This study aimed to establish the normal reference ranges of renal depth-calibrated gTGFR and gSGFR in Chinese healthy adults, and to analyze the influencing factors.
methodsRenal depth was measured by CT scan followed by technetium 99m-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (
resultsThe average gSGFR (L), gSGFR (R), and gTGFR for patients aged 23-64 years old were 49.3±10.1, 49.9±10.4, and 99.1±18.7 mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionsNormal reference ranges for renal depth-calibrated gSGFR (L), gSGFR (R), and gTGFR were established in healthy Chinese adults aged 23-64 years, and gSGFR (L), gSGFR (R), and gTGFR decreased with age and body height.
