The importance of kidney volume as a marker in the assessment of living-donor kidney transplantation in Japan.
Observational study in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2021. 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
backgroundIn living kidney transplantation, predicting the risk of end-stage kidney disease in the organ donors though crucial remains to be resolved. Thus, any useful biomarker to predict kidney outcome would be highly desirable to safeguard donors.
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted at Nagoya Daini Red Cross Hospital to confirm whether an increase in preserved kidney volume (PKV) was a predict marker of proteinuria. A change of PKV before and 1 year after kidney donation was measured, and its association with proteinuria 3 years after the donation was analyzed.
resultsA total of 119 kidney donors who met the Japanese donor guideline were enrolled. The mean age was 57.4 years, 46.2% were male. The mean values of the variables before kidney donation (baseline) were: BMI levels: 23.4 kg/m
conclusionChange of PKV and BSA-adjusted PKV before donation is important factors for proteinuria after donation under the Japanese donor guidelines. Further studies are needed to confirm whether these factors are associated with renal survival after donation.
