Diagnostic Utility of Urine Microscopy in Kidney Diseases.
Article in Indian journal of nephrology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Urine sediment analysis is a highly valuable yet underutilized test in today's advanced medical landscape. The analysis of urine sediment is a simple, cost-effective, and powerful diagnostic tool in the hands of a skilled nephrologist, generally in all kidney diseases and particularly more so in the setting of acute kidney injury (AKI). The impact of AKI is far-reaching and encompasses elevated mortality rates, increased morbidity, longer hospital stays, and higher overall healthcare expenses. Timely and compartmental diagnosis of AKI with the use of a simple urine sediment analysis leads to targeted therapeutic strategies and also serves as a prognostic guide. The widespread use of automated analysis in recent times has its own set of limitations, as it fails to identify pathological casts, crystals, and dysmorphic red blood cells (RBCs). Hence, it is the need of the hour to learn this time-honored art of urine sediment analysis, to provide comprehensive patient care.
