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

Background: Renal infarction is an uncommon complication of Blunt renal artery injury (BRAI) following abdominal trauma. Diagnosis of infarction is difficult and mostly delayed due to non-specific symptoms. Early diagnosis can lead to appropriate and effective treatment, which prevents further complication. Case presentation: We report a case of 21-year-old man falling from a height of 9 m. A contrast-enhanced CT scan in the nephrogram phase showed no evidence of absorption in the right kidney and significantly decreased absorption in the left kidney. The pyelogram phase showed no secretion in the right kidney and decreased secretion in the left kidney suggesting segmental renal infarction. Subsequently, heparin infusion was initiated immediately. A follow-up contrast- enhanced abdominopelvic CT scan was performed after 1 month and showed no sign of infarction, and all laboratory tests were normal. Conclusion: Contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic CT scan helps physicians diagnose the renal infarction immediately and start appropriate treatment. Treatment can vary from aggressive surgical procedures to observation and supportive care.
