The Association Between Delayed Graft Function and Renal Resistive Index in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

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
Background and objectives Delayed graft function (DGF) may increase the risk for kidney graft dysfunction. Renal resistive index (RRI) in Doppler ultrasonography is useful in measuring blood flow changes in kidneys which is indicative of tubulointerstitial damage. Most of the diseases in DGF etiology are related to tubulointerstitium and arteries of the kidneys. In this study, we investigated whether there is a relationship between delayed graft function and renal resistive index in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). Materials and methods Patients who underwent kidney transplantation were included in this retrospective study. KTR were divided into two groups as DGF (+) and DGF (-). Comparison of RRI values of DGF (+) and DGF (-) groups according to the measurements at different times. Results The findings showed that both RRI measurements (post-transplant in the first week and the end of the first year) of the DGF (+) group were higher than DGF (-) group (p=0.001 and p=0.003, respectively). The interaction of measurements and DGF did not have an effect on RRI (p>0.05). Conclusion The value of RRI in the DGF (-) group was lower than DGF (+) group in the first week after kidney transplantation.
