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

Objective: Utilize VUEBOX quantitative analysis software to perform quantitative analysis dynamic ultrasound contrast images of post-transplant renal patients were assessed quantitatively five parameters of ultrasonic contrast and two-dimensional ultrasound are examined to explore their six value in Diagnosing Renal Graft Dysfunction. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 73 post-transplant renal patients who underwent ultrasound contrast examinations at Yiyang Central Hospital from July 2022 to December 2023, They were diagnosed clinically and pathologically. Based on pathological and clinical diagnostic results, the patients were divided into three groups: 47 cases in the stable renal function group, 18 cases in the acute rejection (AR) group, and 8 cases in the delayed graft function (DGF) group. All patients underwent routine ultrasound and ultrasound contrast examinations post-transplantation. By comprehensively assessing renal function test results, clinical course, and pathological findings, differences in ultrasonic contrast quantitative parameters were analyzed. Additionally, ROC curves were constructed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound contrast in discriminating between transplant renal rejection reactions and delayed renal function recovery. Results: Statistically significant differences in characteristics, such as renal segmental artery resistance index, were observed among the stable renal function group, AR group, and DGF group (all Conclusion: There are discernible differences in VUEBOX quantitative parameters between post-transplant AR and DGF cases, thereby providing imaging references for diagnosing of acute rejection and functional impairment following renal transplantation.
