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

Background: The rabbit kidney is a unipapillary organ. According to other researchers, rabbit kidneys have 6-8 pyramids. Aim: This study aimed to describe the computed tomography (CT) anatomy and dimensions of rabbit kidneys. Methods: Ten sexually mature, clinically healthy rabbits were divided into two groups (five males and five females). The animals were positioned in the sternal position. A SOMATOM helical computed tomograph was used in the study with consecutive Dicom Viewer reconstructions of the data. Results: On transverse precontrast CT scans, the right kidney was observed between Th13 (L1) and L2-L3, and the left kidney appeared between L2 (L3) and L4 (L5). The CT value of the right kidney was 40.28 ± 6.6 HU, and that of the left kidney was 43.36 ± 5.2 HU. The CT method was precise and found an excellent positive correlation between both kidney length (Y variable) and L2 length (X variable). The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.957 for the right kidney and 0.961 for the left kidney at 95% confidence interval. The measured length of both kidneys on CT scans demonstrated a very strong positive correlation with L2 length.Retrospective reconstruction revealed both kidneys as multipapillary organs. Conclusion: The obtained
