Ultrasound viscoelastic imaging in the noninvasive quantitative assessment of chronic kidney disease.

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
backgroundThis study aims to evaluate the clinical application value of ultrasound viscoelastic imaging in noninvasive quantitative assessment of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
methodsA total of 332 patients with CKD and 190 healthy adults as a control group were prospectively enrolled. Before kidney biopsy, ultrasound viscoelastic imaging was performed to measure the mean stiffness value (Emean), mean viscosity coefficient (Vmean), and mean dispersion coefficient (Dmean) of the renal. CKD patients were divided into three groups based on estimated glomerular filtration rate. The differences in clinic, pathology, ultrasound image parameters between the control and patient groups, or among different CKD groups were compared. The correlation between viscoelastic parameters and pathology were analyzed.
resultsEmean, Vmean, and Dmean in the control group were less than the CKD group (
conclusionsUltrasound viscoelastic imaging has advantages in noninvasive quantitative identification and evaluating renal function of CKD. Emean > 6.61 kPa, Vmean > 1.86 Pa·s, or Dmean > 7.51 m/s/kHz may suggest renal dysfunction. Combining Vmean, Dmean, and Emean can improve the efficiency of identifying CKD.
