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

Ultrasound imaging is a key investigatory step in the evaluation of chronic kidney disease and kidney transplantation. It uses nonionizing radiation, is noninvasive, and generates real-time images, making it the ideal initial radiographic test for patients with abnormal kidney function. Ultrasound enables the assessment of both structural (form and size) and functional (perfusion and patency) aspects of kidneys, both of which are especially important as the disease progresses. Ultrasound and its derivatives have been studied for their diagnostic and prognostic significance in chronic kidney disease and kidney transplantation. Ultrasound is rapidly growing more widely accessible and is now available even in handheld formats that allow for bedside ultrasound examinations. Given the trend toward ubiquity, the current use of kidney ultrasound demands a full understanding of its breadth as it and its variants become available. We described the current applications and future directions of ultrasound imaging and its variants in the context of chronic kidney disease and transplantation in this review.
