Renal cortex thickness and changes in renal function after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

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 association between renal morphological findings and changes in renal function in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is unexplored.
aimsWe aimed to investigate the association between renal morphological findings and changes in renal function in patients undergoing TAVI.
methodsAmong 283 consecutive patients undergoing TAVI between 2018 and 2021, the study sample included 224 patients. Renal morphological measurements were performed by preoperative multidetector computed tomography. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) improvement and deterioration were defined as positive or negative changes in an eGFR of ≥10% one month after TAVI. The renal cortex thickness index was defined as the ratio of total renal cortex thickness to body surface area.
resultsThe incidences of eGFR improvement and deterioration were 33.9% and 24.1%, respectively. The renal cortex thickness index had a significant correlation with changes in eGFR (r=0.34, p<0.01). The index of the area under the curve of renal cortex thickness for eGFR improvement and deterioration were 0.73 and 0.68, respectively. The cut-off values were 5.82 mm/m
conclusionsThe renal cortex thickness index was associated with changes in renal function in patients who underwent TAVI. Its measurements might be useful for predicting the renal function change in patients undergoing TAVI.
