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
Quantitative assessment of donor kidney quality remains challenging in transplantation medicine. This study investigated the correlation between Shore durometer-measured renal hardness and established quality indicators (hypothermic machine perfusion [HMP] parameters and pathological scores) in deceased donor kidneys. We prospectively analyzed 58 kidneys from 29 deceased donors. Renal hardness was measured at 10 standardized locations before and after perfusion using a Shore durometer (Type OOO). HMP parameters (flow rate and resistance index [RI]) were recorded during machine perfusion, and histological assessment was performed using Remuzzi scoring. Pearson correlation analysis examined relationships between hardness parameters (pre-perfusion, post-perfusion, and perfusion-induced difference) and quality indicators. Pre-perfusion hardness correlated significantly with HMP resistance (
