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

Renal vasculature depicts great morphological variability and clinical significance due to the great number of procedures performed on kidneys. The current imaging report presents a right-sided renal artery (RA) triplication and origin from the abdominal aorta (AA), which was incidentally identified during computed tomography angiography (CTA). The typical RA corresponded to the main hilar artery (MHA), the second RA corresponded to the superior polar artery (SPA), and the third RA corresponded to the inferior polar artery (IPA). RA triplication occurs in 0.9%-4.5% and depicts wide morphological variability. The current report corresponds to one superior polar, one inferior polar, and a main hilar renal artery, which represents a rare morphological type of RA triplication. Kidney transplantation surgery, endoscopic surgery, and renal angiography require adequate knowledge of RAs and their variants to avoid pitfalls and iatrogenic lesions from clinicians.
