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

aimsContrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is the third most common in-hospital acquired AKI, and its mechanism is not fully clear. Its morbidity increases among populations with chronic kidney disease (CKD), older age, diabetes mellitus (DM), and so on. Immediate and effective noninvasive diagnostic methods are lacking, so CI-AKI often prolongs hospital stays and increases extra medical costs. This study aims to explore the possibility of diagnosing CI-AKI with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) based on type 2 DM rats. Moreover, we attempt to reveal the immune response in CI-AKI and to clarify why DM is a predisposing factor for CI-AKI.

methodsA type 2 DM rat model was established by feeding a high-fat and high-sugar diet combined with streptozotocin (STZ) injection. Iodixanol-320 was the contrast medium (CM) administered to rats. Images were obtained with a SIEMENS Skyra 3.0-T magnetic resonance imager. Renal histopathology was evaluated using H&E staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The innate immune response was revealed through western blotting and flow cytometry.

resultsBlood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) imaging and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging can be used to predict and diagnose CI-AKI effectively. The CONCLUSIONS/
