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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the ability of amide proton transfer (APT) imaging to assess the function of transplanted kidneys. Methods: Between October 2023 and July 2024, a total of 44 renal allograft recipients were recruited prospectively, who underwent renal APT imaging with a 3.0 T system 2-3 weeks after transplantation. Recipients were divided into two groups according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): group A, eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m Results: Two physicians calculated APT values independently and with good agreement, as indicated by an intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.75. The renal cortical and medullary APT values in group A (2.61% ± 0.51% and 2.11% ± 0.37%, respectively) were significantly higher than those in group B (1.77% ± 0.13% and 1.79% ± 0.29%, respectively) ( Conclusion: APT imaging is a promising technique for non-invasive functional assessment of renal allografts.
