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

The reversed cortico‑medullary differentiation in fetal kidneys on ultrasound has been described in the literature, but there have been no descriptions of such a finding on fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) so far. The authors present three unrelated fetuses with hyperechoic kidneys on ultrasound (US) and reversed signal intensity of their cortex and pyramids on SSFSE/T2WI and FIESTA images on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All of them shared the same deletion of the long arm of chromosome 17 in the 17q12 region, responsible for the expression of clinical features of renal cysts and diabetes (RCAD) syndrome. All of them had multiple tiny kidney cysts on US after birth. This specific finding on fetal MRI may point at this specific genetic condition.
