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

backgroundThe assessment of kidney perfusion has an emerging significance in many diagnostic applications. However, whether and which of the ultrasound Doppler parameters better express renal cortical perfusion (RCP) was not shown. The study aimed to prove the usefulness of Doppler ultrasound parameters in the assessment of RCP regarding low-dose contrast-enhanced multidetector computer tomography (CE-MDCT) blood flow.

methodsThirty non-stenotic kidneys in twenty-five hypertensive patients (age 58.9 ± 19.0) with mild-to-severe renal dysfunction were included in the study. Resistive index (RI) and end-diastolic velocity (EDV) in segmental arteries, color Doppler dynamic RCP intensity (dRCP), RI (dRI), pulsatility index (dPI), and CE-MDCT blood flow (CBF) in the renal cortex were estimated.

resultsCBF correlated significantly with age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), RI, EDV, dRI, dPI, and dRCP. In separate multivariable backward regression analyses, RI (R

conclusionsRenal cortical perfusion intensity is the best ultrasound marker expressing renal cortical perfusion. In patients with hypertension and kidney dysfunction, renal resistive index and end-diastolic velocity express renal cortical perfusion and kidney function, respectively.
