Prognostic Factors for Complications Following Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Kidney Biopsy: A 7-Year Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of clinical ultrasound : JCU, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionUltrasound-guided percutaneous kidney biopsy is a key diagnostic tool, but it carries a risk of complications. This study aimed to evaluate complication rates and identify associated clinical and procedural factors.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed 627 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous kidney biopsy between January 2013 and December 2019. Logistic regression models were used to assess associations between complications and potential risk factors, adjusting for demographics, clinical characteristics, and procedural variables.
resultsComplications occurred in 75% of patients, with hematoma (69.7%) being the most frequent, followed by pain (14.5%). Older age (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97-1; p = 0.024). Obesity (adjusted OR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.34-0.74; p < 0.001) and smoking (adjusted OR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.36-0.9; p = 0.015) were associated with a reduced risk of complications.
conclusionsComplications were common following ultrasound-guided percutaneous kidney biopsy; however, the majority were minor and clinically manageable. Older age, obesity, and smoking were independently associated with a lower risk of complications. These findings highlight the overall safety of the procedure and emphasize the importance of individualized risk assessment in clinical practice.
