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

objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) in quantitative evaluation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in pediatric patients.

methodsSWE was conducted on 58 pediatric patients with CKD (CKD group) and 70 healthy volunteers (Control group). Computer-assisted quantitative analysis was utilized to determine the percentage of interstitial fibrosis (IF) in images from the CKD group, categorizing them into mild, moderate, and severe groups according to IF% values. The differences in Young's modulus (YM) and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) between the renal cortex and medulla in these groups were compared. Additionally, the relationships between YM and IF% as well as YM and eGFR, were analyzed.

resultsThe YM values in right lower pole cortex and medulla of the CKD group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all

conclusionSWE enables quantitative assessment of kidney YM values, revealing significantly higher values in children with CKD compared to healthy individuals. YM is correlated with the severity of renal interstitial fibrosis, thereby establishing SWE as a valuable non-invasive tool for quantitative evaluation of pediatric CKD.
