Imaging findings of high-grade penetrating renal trauma in a pediatric patient.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Renal trauma is a significant cause of morbidity in pediatric patients, with penetrating injuries representing a smaller but severe subset. We present the case of an 11-year-old boy with a penetrating stab wound to the left flank causing hemodynamic instability. Initial ultrasound revealed free fluid in the perirenal space, prompting a contrast-enhanced thoracoabdominal-pelvic CT scan, which demonstrated a grade V left mid-renal laceration extending to the hilum with devascularization of the medial renal parenchyma and active arterial contrast extravasation near the renal pedicle. A large perirenal and pararenal hematoma extended into the intraperitoneal space, confirming ongoing hemorrhage. Imaging findings guided a multidisciplinary decision for conservative management under intensive monitoring. This case underscores the critical role of multiphase CT imaging in accurately grading pediatric penetrating renal trauma, identifying vascular injury and hemorrhage, and guiding appropriate management decisions.
