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
Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is associated with ischemic nephropathy, kidney failure, and secondary hypertension. Percutaneous transluminal renal artery stenting (PTRAS) is required for patients with hemodynamically significant ARAS. However, PTRAS can be problematic in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) because the use of a large amount of iodinated contrast medium is associated with an increased risk of contrast-induced nephropathy. We describe a case of PTRAS with successful revascularization by using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) with diluted contrast medium (1:10 dilution). An 89-year-old man with resistant hypertension and CKD was hospitalized in our institution for acute coronary syndrome. During hospitalization, the patient's blood pressure was extremely high (180-200/70-90 mmHg), despite the use of four antihypertensive agents. We examined the cause of hypertension and detected significant right renal artery stenosis and left kidney atrophy with renal artery obstruction. We performed PTRAS on the right renal artery by using DSA with a diluted contrast medium. Revascularization was successful using only 3 mL of the contrast medium. PTRAS using DSA with diluted contrast medium can be an effective technique for treating ARAS in patients with CKD to preserve renal function.
