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

purposeMultiparametric quantitative renal MRI may provide noninvasive radiologic biomarkers of chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on investigations in animal models and adults. We aimed to (1) obtain normative multiparametric quantitative MRI data from the kidneys of healthy children and young adults, (2) compare MRI measurements between healthy control participants and patients with CKD, and (3) determine if MRI measurements correlate with clinical and laboratory data as well as histology.

methodsThis was a prospective, case-control study of 20 healthy controls and 12 CKD patients who underwent percutaneous renal biopsy ranging from 12 to 23 years of age between October 2018 and March 2020. Kidney function was documented and pathology assessed for fibrosis/inflammation. Utilizing a field strength of 1.5T, we examined renal T1, T2, and T2* relaxation mapping, MR elastography (MRE), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). A single analyst made all manual measurements for quantitative MRI pulse sequences. Independent measurements from cortex, medulla, and whole kidney were obtained by drawing regions of interest on single slices from the upper, mid, and lower kidney. A weighted average was calculated for each kidney; if two kidneys, the right and left were averaged. Continuous variables were compared with Mann-Whitney U test; bivariate relationships were assessed using Spearman rank-order correlation.

resultsMedian estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 112.3 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionRenal T1 relaxation and DWI ADC measurements differ between pediatric healthy controls and CKD patients, correlate with laboratory markers of CKD, and may have histologic correlates.
