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 investigate the long-term impact of superselective renal artery embolization (SRAE) on renal function in cases of severe post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) haemorrhage, and to identify the factors associated with the long-term outcome of renal function.

methodsPatients treated with SRAE for post-PCNL hemorrhage between September 2016 and September 2021 were included. Patients' demographic and clinical data were recorded. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression were used to identify the factors related to the percentages of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) change and the risk factors of worsening renal function (WRF), respectively.

resultA total of 80 patients were included. There was no significant change in eGFR before and after SRAE immediately within 1.45 ± 1.66 days (66.37 ± 28.45 vs. 63.86 ± 29.26 mL/min/1.73 m², p = 0.202). Patient's eGFR increased significantly from 66.37 ± 28.45 to 70.94 ± 30.48 mL/min/1.73 m² (p = 0.044) with a mean follow-up of 30.4 months after SRAE, especially in patients with compromised renal function before SRAE (β = 0.297, p = 0.039). However, BMI > 24 kg/m

conclusionSRAE is an effective treatment for post-PCNL severe haemorrhage, and is not deleterious to long term renal function. Notably, BMI > 24.0 kg/m
