Evaluation of postoperative renal function in infants with congenital hydronephrosis using ROI from ultrasound technique in renography.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2024. 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
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of GFR measured using ROI from ultrasound technique in diuretic renography for evaluating postoperative outcomes in infants under one year old with congenital hydronephrosis. A retrospective analysis was conducted on thirty infants who underwent abdominal ultrasound and diuretic renography before and after surgery, obtaining preoperative and postoperative gGFRs and uGFRs (measured using ROI from ultrasound technique) determined using the Gates method and ultrasonic-assisted drawing ROI technique, respectively. A comparative study was performed on total GFR as well as individual kidney GFR before and after intervention. The preoperative and postoperative total and single uGFRs were significantly lower than gGFRs, while the postoperative total and single renal function, along with relative renal function in the hydronephrotic kidneys, were also significantly higher than the preoperative results (p < 0.05). Among 30 infants, 23 cases exhibited substantial recovery of renal function in their hydronephrotic kidneys after surgery, 2 cases did not show significant improvement, while 5 cases continued to experience deterioration in renal function. The GFR measured using ROI from ultrasound technique provides a more accurate assessment of renal function changes before and after surgery in infants under one year old with congenital hydronephrosis, facilitating an effective evaluation of postoperative treatment efficacy.
