Contrast-enhanced and conventional ultrasound images of renal wounds after partial nephrectomy.

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
objectivesTo observe the features of conventional ultrasound (US) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) images of renal wounds after minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) and evaluate their severity using these two modalities.
methodsThis prospective, observational study included 120 patients who underwent MIPN from April to December 2019 in our hospital. The postoperative US images were evaluated and classified, and contrast extravasation characteristics of CEUS were recorded. The correlation between the classification system and perioperative factors was analyzed.
resultsEighty-five patients underwent US and CEUS after MIPN. Conventional US images were classified into three grades according to the surface morphology of renal wounds and overall shape of the kidney around the incision. Univariable and multivariable analyses indicated that the N component of the R.E.N.A.L. score and the resection range were preoperative and intraoperative factors, respectively, related to the US image grades (UIGs). A deep location and expanded excision contributed to an increased UIG. The extravasation rate increased with the UIG (Spearman correlation rho=0.247,
conclusionsUS and CEUS were feasible and repeatable methods that reflect the morphologic changes of renal wounds after MIPN and may be useful for evaluating their severity.
