Ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy: a review of what operators need to know.
Review in Frontiers in nephrology, 2026. 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
Ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy is a key procedure for diagnosing renal parenchymal disease and assessing renal involvement in systemic disorders. This review summarizes indications and contraindications, patient preparation, procedural technique, and post-biopsy monitoring, with emphasis on complication prevention and risk mitigation. Pre-biopsy ultrasound is essential to assess renal size, morphology, and anatomic variants and to plan a safe needle trajectory. Biopsy is typically performed from the lower pole renal cortex in the prone position using a spring-loaded core needle after local anesthesia. Bleeding is the principal complication, so structured observation after the procedure is mandatory.
