Kidney tissue elastography and interstitial fibrosis observed in kidney biopsy.
Article in Renal failure, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionKidney interstitial fibrosis is an important risk factor for the progression of chronic kidney disease. Kidney elastography is a noninvasive imaging modality that might be used to assess tissue fibrosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between tissue stiffness detected in kidney elastography and interstitial fibrosis observed in kidney biopsy. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients who were hospitalized in a tertiary care university hospital with a kidney biopsy indication were included in this study. In all patients, the transverse and sagittal elastography measurements were made using a sonoelastography device before the biopsy. The total histological score was calculated.
resultsFifty-seven native kidney patients with proteinuria were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence (
conclusionThe findings of our study suggest a significant relationship between the elastography measurements and interstitial fibrosis. Because of the high negative predictive value (91%), we suggest that elastography should mainly be used as an exclusion test for the presence of fibrosis. We also believe that elastography may be useful to evaluate the fibrosis status in kidney diseases.
