Noninvasive assessment of renal function and fibrosis in CKD patients using histogram analysis based on diffusion kurtosis imaging.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
purposeTo investigate the potential of histogram analysis based on diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in evaluating renal function and fibrosis associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty-six CKD patients were enrolled, and DKI was performed in all patients before the renal biopsy. The histogram parameters of diffusivity (D) and kurtosis (K) were obtained using FireVoxel. The histogram parameters between the stable [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m
resultsSeven D histogram parameters in cortex (mean, median, 10th, 25th, 75th, 90th percentiles and entropy), two D histogram parameters in medulla (75th, 90th percentiles), seven K histogram parameters in cortex (mean, min, median, 10th, 25th, 75th, 90th percentiles) and three K histogram parameters in medulla (mean, median, 25th percentile) were significantly different between the two groups. The D
conclusionHistogram analysis based on DKI is practicable for the noninvasive assessment of renal function and fibrosis in CKD patients.
