The Effect of Risk Factors and Clinical Complications of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) on Renal Arterial Resistive Index (RRI).
Article in Current hypertension reviews, 2025. 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
backgroundChronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a known risk factor for End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD). Renal Doppler Ultrasound (RDU) can detect early renal involvement in CKD using the Renal Resistive Index (RRI).
aimsThis study aimed to investigate the effects of risk factors and clinical complications associated with CKD on RRI among patients with different stages of CKD.
methodsIn this analytical cross-sectional study, 186 patients referred to Poursina Hospital for RDU were categorized into six groups (normal and five stages of CKD). We analyzed the impact of demographic factors and clinical complications on RRI across all groups.
resultsOur findings indicated that CKD prevalence was particularly high among older patients and those with CVD, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and hypertension (HTN). Elevated RRI in CKD patients was significantly associated with age, CKD stage, CVD, and HTN (p < 0.05). Furthermore, RRI was higher in CKD patients with elevated serum phosphorus (P) levels, higher low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and lower calcium (Ca) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels. Based on a multivariate regression model, CVD, lower Ca, high LDL, and proteinuria were identified as independent predictors of elevated RRI (p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study concludes that elevated RRI is associated with the severity of CKD and its clinical complications, suggesting that RRI can serve as a reliable indicator for assessing CKD patients, managing treatment, and preventing early death complications.
