1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo explore the diagnostic performance of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in evaluating the clinical and pathological characteristics of patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) compared with conventional DWI. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 28 IgAN patients and 14 healthy volunteers prospectively underwent MRI examinations including coronal T2WI, axial T1WI, T2WI, and DWI sequences from September 2020 to August 2021. We measured mean kurtosis (MK), mean diffusivity (MD), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) by using MR Body Diffusion Toolbox v1.4.0 (Siemens Healthcare). Patients were divided into three groups according to their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (Group1, healthy volunteers without kidney disease or other diseases that affect renal function; Group2, IgAN patients with eGFR > 60 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsMK

conclusionsDKI is a feasible and reliable technique that can assess the clinical and pathological characteristics of IgAN patients and can provide more valuable information than conventional DWI, especially MK
