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

objectivesTo evaluate the function of kidneys with renal artery stenosis using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, assess the diagnostic efficacy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging for single kidney dysfunction. MATERIALS AND

methodsRenal multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging was performed on 62 patients with RAS using the Philips Ingenia CX 3.0 T MRI machine. The scanning sequences included arterial spin labeling, phase contrast MRI, diffusion weighted imaging, T1 mapping, and blood oxygen level-dependent MRI. All patients underwent radionuclide renal dynamic imaging, and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated to determine renal function. Individual kidneys from renal artery stenosis patients were classified into normal (GFR ≥ 30) and reduced (GFR < 30) groups and the ability of the uni- and multi-variate logistic regression model to predict the group was determined.

resultsMR parameters demonstrated considerable diagnostic efficacy for single kidney dysfunction, with AUC range of 0.597- 0.864. The strongest predictor was mean renal artery blood flow. The sensitivity and specificity were 0.93 and 0.69AUC was 0.864. The strongest predictors of the renal microstructure were cortical apparent diffusion coeffecient and T1 value, with ROC AUCs of 0.756 and 0.741, sensitivities of 0.875 and 0.689, and specificities of 0.537 and 0.731. Multiparametric MRI combined with the values of cortical renal blood flow and cortical T1 exhibited the highest diagnostic efficacy, with an AUC of 0.92, and sensitivity of 0.919, and specificity of 0.743.

conclusionMultiparametric magnetic resonance imaging can effectively detect the single renal dysfunction of kidneys with renal artery stenosis, which holds promise for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with renal artery stenosis.
