Diffusion tensor imaging of renal cortex in lupus nephritis.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 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
purposeTo evaluate the diagnostic value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of renal cortex in assessment of lupus nephritis (LN) and prediction of its pathological subtypes.
methodsProspective study was performed upon 39 female patients with pathologically proven LN and 16 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. Patients and controls underwent DTI of kidney. Mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of renal cortex were calculated by two radiologists. LN patients were pathologically classified into either non-proliferative (n = 15) or proliferative (n = 24).
resultsMean MD of renal cortex in LN was significantly lower (p = 0.001) than that of controls with cut-off (2.16 and 2.2 X10
conclusionMD and FA of renal cortex may help to assess renal affection in LN patients and predict its pathological subtypes.
