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

backgroundWe aimed to evaluate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD), arterial spin labeling (ASL), and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) for noninvasively monitoring acute kidney injury (AKI) to acute kidney disease (AKD) progression following renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) and the subsequent response to Mito-TEMPO (MT) therapy.

methodsPhase 1: 42 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (36 IRI and 6 control). Phase 2: 144 SD rats (IRI/control + MT treatment/saline, 36 per group). IRI group: left renal ischemia reperfusion procedures, control group: sham abdominal surgery. Animals underwent MRI scanning to obtain effective transverse relaxation rate (R2*), renal blood flow (RBF), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), pure molecular diffusion (D), perfusion-related diffusion (D*), and perfusion fraction (f) values of kidney. After sacrifice, serological and histological analysis were performed.

resultsAll MRI parameters (R2*, RBF, ADC, D*, D, f) showed significant, time-dependent alterations following IRI compared to controls. These changes were effectively reversed by MT treatment, with most parameters recovering to near-baseline levels.

conclusionBOLD, ASL, and IVIM can be used as noninvasive radiologic markers for detecting the progression from renal IRI to AKI-AKD and recovery after MT treatment.
