Application of shear wave elastography in the assessment of renal cortical elasticity in patients with hypertension.

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
Objective: To evaluate the clinical utility of shear wave elastography (SWE) for measuring renal cortical elasticity in patients with hypertension. Methods: Following the diagnostic criteria established in the 2020 International Society of Hypertension Global Hypertension Practice Guidelines, 44 patients with essential hypertension from our hospital's Department of Cardiology were enrolled alongside 46 healthy controls during the same period. General demographic data and blood biochemical indicators of renal function were documented for all participants. All subjects underwent two-dimensional ultrasound and SWE examinations to obtain conventional ultrasound parameters and Young's modulus (YM) values of the right renal cortex. Parameters were compared between the two groups. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify relationships between the YM value of the right renal cortex and general demographic data, conventional ultrasound indicators, and renal function parameters in the hypertensive group. Results: Disease duration, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in the hypertensive group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( Conclusion: SWE may serve as a valuable non-invasive screening tool for early detection of hypertension-related renal changes before conventional parameters show abnormalities. The positive correlation between cortical stiffness and hypertension duration suggests SWE could assist clinicians in risk stratification and monitoring progression of subclinical renal damage, potentially enabling earlier therapeutic interventions to prevent progression to chronic kidney disease.
