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

purposeThis study aimed to develop a prediction model to preoperatively identify patients with unilateral severe renal artery stenosis (RAS) most likely to experience blood pressure improvement after revascularization.

methodsIn this retrospective study, 193 patients with unilateral severe RAS who underwent revascularization between 2018 and 2024 were analyzed. LASSO regression was used for variable selection, and the selected predictors were entered into a multivariable logistic regression model to develop the nomogram based on clinical and Doppler ultrasound parameters. Model performance was evaluated through internal validation and temporal validation.

resultsThe final model included acceleration time (AT) ≥ 70 ms, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m², resistive index (RI) of the contralateral kidney and new-onset hypertension. The model demonstrated a C-statistic of 0.907 and a Brier score of 0.12. Its discriminative ability was confirmed by internal validation (C-statistic 0.888, 95% CI 0.797-0.961), and it achieved a C-statistic of 0.826 with a Brier score of 0.17 in the temporal validation cohort. Decision curve analysis confirmed clinical utility across a threshold probability range of 22-82%.

conclusionThis nomogram may serve as an effective tool for estimating the probability of blood pressure response to revascularization and support preprocedural risk stratification in patients with unilateral severe RAS.
