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: This exploratory study aims to develop a multimodal model predicting estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by integrating functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) diffusion metrics and multiphase Computed Tomography (CT) hemodynamic indices in acute urinary obstruction. Methods: Thirty-five patients with acute urinary obstruction underwent multiphase CT and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI). We measured DWI-based indices-including Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC), Slow Diffusion Coefficient (SDC), and normalized ratios-alongside CT-derived metrics, specifically Difference of Renal Attenuation (DRA), Corticomedullary Differentiation (CMD), and Difference in Corticomedullary Differentiation (DCMD). These indices were compared between obstructed and contralateral (normal) kidneys to assess diagnostic value Predictive models for eGFR were developed using various index combinations, selecting the optimal model based on the highest Adjusted R-squared (R Results: Obstructed kidneys exhibited significantly lower native CT density (32.5 ± 4.2 vs 34.3 ± 2.6 HU, p= 0.011) and reduced CMD (p< 0.001) than normal kidneys. Although ADC and ADC ratios showed no significant differences (p> 0.05), the SDC and SDC ratios (rSDC) were significantly higher in obstructed kidneys (SDC: 0.14 ± 0.03 vs 0.13 ± 0.03; rSDC_Muscle: 7.05 ± 2.69 vs 6.18 ± 2.34; rSDC_Spleen: 1.70 vs 1.47; all p< 0.05). Combining diffusion metrics with multiphase CT attenuation enhanced eGFR prediction. The best model, integrating ADC, CMD, and Mean_rADC_Muscle, achieved an adjusted R Conclusion: This exploratory investigation highlights the potential of a multimodal framework that integrates CT hemodynamic indices with MRI microstructural metrics for noninvasive eGFR estimation in acute urinary obstruction. This quantitative methodology demonstrates promising capability in identifying localized renal impairment, serving to complement established laboratory diagnostics.
