Magnetic Resonance Elastography as Surrogate Marker of Interstitial Fibrosis in Kidney Transplantation: A Prospective Study.
Article in Kidney360, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03918161 (Magnetic Resonance Elastography of Transplanted Kidney), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 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.

Abstract
Background: Fibrosis progression is a major prognosis factor in kidney transplantation. Its assessment requires an allograft biopsy, which remains an invasive procedure at risk of complications. Methods: We assessed renal stiffness by magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) as a surrogate marker of fibrosis in a prospective cohort of kidney transplant recipients compared with the histologic gold standard. Interstitial fibrosis was evaluated by three methods: the semi-quantitative Banff ci score, a visual quantitative evaluation by a pathologist, and a computer-assisted quantitative evaluation. MRE-derived stiffness was assessed at the superior, median, and inferior poles of the allograft. Results: We initially enrolled 73 patients, but only 55 had measurements of their allograft stiffness by MRE before an allograft biopsy. There was no significant correlation between MRE-derived stiffness at the biopsy site and the ci score ( Conclusions: MRE-derived stiffness does not directly reflect the extent of fibrosis in kidney transplantation.
