Correlation between Kidney Function and Sonographic Texture Features after Allograft Transplantation with Corresponding to Serum Creatinine: A Long Term Follow-Up Study.
Article in Journal of biomedical physics & engineering, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 ability to monitor kidney function after transplantation is one of the major factors to improve care of patients.
objectiveAuthors recommend a computerized texture analysis using run-length matrix features for detection of changes in kidney tissue after allograft in ultrasound imaging. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 40 kidney allograft recipients (28 male, 12 female) were used in this longitudinal study. Of the 40 patients, 23 and 17 patients showed increased serum creatinine (sCr) (increased group) and decreased sCr (decreased group), respectively. Twenty run-length matrix features were used for texture analysis in three normalizations. Correlations of texture features with serum creatinine (sCr) level and differences between before and after follow-up for each group were analyzed. An area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (Az) was measured to evaluate potential of proposed method.
resultsThe features under default and 3sigma normalization schemes via linear discriminant analysis (LDA) showed high performance in classifying decreased group with an A
conclusionRun-length matrix features not only have high potential for characterization but also can help physicians to diagnose kidney failure after transplantation.
