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

purposeEvaluation of split renal function (SRF) is critical for guiding surgical treatment decisions for patients with ureteral stricture disease (USD). We aimed to determine whether computed tomography (CT)-based renal parenchymal volumes may be used to predict SRF in patients with USD.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing surgical management for USD at a single institution from October 2021 to January 2024. Patients who had preoperative nuclear medicine scan (NMS) and CT scan with intravenous contrast that were obtained within six weeks of each other were included. Interval between NMS and CT could be longer if the affected renal unit was drained with ureteral stent and/or percutaneous nephrostomy. Volume measurements were obtained using the 3D Region of Interest (ROI) Tool on Visage

results40 of 160 patients met inclusion criteria. There was excellent reliability in calculating renal parenchymal volume between raters (ICC = 0.990). There was a strong linear correlation between estimated CT SRF and NMS SRF (r = 0.912, p < 0.00001). A linear regression model found R

conclusionCT-derived parenchymal volume analysis may be used to estimate SRF in patients with USD. This may obviate the need to obtain preoperative renal scans for SRF measurement in selected patients when assessing surgical management options.
