Shear wave elastography in early diabetic kidney disease.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to analyze the kidneys among the subjects with early stages of type 2 diabetic kidney disease by shear wave elastography quantitatively.
methodsA total of 108 patients with type 2 diabetic kidney disease and 17 control subjects were enrolled. According to the estimated glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin-to-urinary creatinine ratio, patients were classified into stages 1 to 3 diabetic kidney disease. Grayscale ultrasound andshear wave elastography were performed. The sizes, depths, and shear wave elastography values were recorded. These parameters were compared between the diabetic kidney disease and the control subjects.
resultsThe mean shear wave elastography values were significantly higher in the diabetic kidney disease group (10.156±1.75 kPa vs. 8.241±1.4 kPa; p<0.001). We obtained statistically significantly higher shear wave elastography values in stages 2 and 3 diabetic kidney disease subjects than control subjects and in patients with stage 3 diabetic kidney disease compared to those with stage 1 diabetic kidney disease (p<0.05 for all). We obtained a cutoff value of 9.23 kPa for predicting diabetic kidney disease in early stages, with a sensitivity of 67% and a specificity of 82%.
conclusionShear wave elastography may be used as a noninvasive, simple, and quantitative method to provide diagnostic information as a part of routine management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in the early stages of diabetic kidney disease.
