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
introductionLast few decades have seen a remarkable increase in the elderly population. Aging is an established risk factor for chronic kidney diseases associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The frequency and spectrum of renal pathology on autopsy specimen is not well documented and is often overlooked by physicians as well as forensic pathologists.
aimThe present study aims to find out the prevalence and pattern of various types of renal pathologies, based on the histopathological analysis of renal tissue where autopsies were performed whether related or unrelated to renal diseases. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis retrospective study of six years consisted of 557 autopsies. The bits of 417 samples of kidney tissue/whole kidney, retrieved at the time of autopsy were received, processed, and examined.
resultsThe male to female ratio approximately was 2:1, and 83.69% of cases were in 11-50 years age groups. Among the 159 cases having definitive renal findings, the commonest pathologies were seen in tubules and interstitial tissues (58.49% cases), followed by 38.36% cases with involvement of all components of renal tissues. There were four cases of isolated vascular changes and one case having Hodgkin's lymphoma. The series had 12 cases of renal tuberculosis.
conclusionsThe study highlights the various lesions of kidney found in renal tissue obtained on autopsy. The physician as well as forensic pathologists must be aware of the high prevalence and wide spectrum of possible pathologies in the kidney. The focus should be to develop more efficacious diagnostic methods for timely intervention.
