Study of renal parenchymal changes by diffusion tensor imaging in diabetic nephropathy.

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
Purpose: To evaluate differences in diffusion imaging parameters, including fractional anisotropy (FA) and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), in control and diabetic subjects, and to assess changes in these parameters to patient's urine albumin/protein levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and glycated haemoglobin (HbA Material and methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study involving 100 patients who underwent diffusion imaging including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the kidneys in our hospital from 2019 to 2020. Diffusion imaging parameters (ADC and FA) were obtained from the medulla and cortex of both kidneys using dedicated software. Statistical analysis was done. Results: Out of 100 subjects, 27 were controls and 73 were diabetics (19 normoalbuminuric, 23 microalbuminuric, and 31 proteinuric). The medullary FA (0.419 ± 0.024 vs. 0.346 ± 0.042), cortical FA (0.194 ± 0.035 vs. 0.303 ± 0.067), and cortical ADC (3.307 ± 0.341 vs. 2.309 ± 0.515) values showed significant differences between controls and diabetics. Medullary FA and cortical ADC values showed a decreasing trend with an increasing amount of albumin/protein in the urine, decreasing renal function (reducing eGFR), and increasing HbA Conclusions: DTI has the potential to be a promising non-invasive test for the detection of early renal parenchymal changes in diabetic nephropathy.
