Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography predict histopathology and recovery in acute kidney injury.
Article in Renal failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeAcute kidney injury (AKI) progression involves complex microcirculatory and structural changes poorly captured by conventional metrics. This study investigates contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and shear wave elastography (SWE) to evaluate hemodynamic redistribution and fibrosis in AKI patients.
methodsProspective cohort study of 16 biopsy-confirmed tubulointerstitial (TI) nephritis patients and matched controls. We aim to explore the potential correlation of CEUS-SWE derived parameters (peak intensity (PI), rise time (RT), time to peak (TTP), and shear wave velocity (SWV)) with renal histopathology and 3-month outcomes (renal recovery: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥45 mL/min/1.73 m
resultsCEUS revealed stage-specific perfusion patterns: milder AKI (eGFR >25 mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionsCEUS-derived PI ratios quantify microcirculatory dysfunction in AKI, correlating with chronic TI injury and predicting recovery.
