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.

Abstract

purposeThe need for continuous anticoagulation remains a significant drawback in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), especially in patients with increased bleeding risk. Polyethyleneimine treatment of the AN69 membrane (AN69ST) reduces thrombogenicity through decreased contact activation and promotion of heparin binding. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether this membrane prolongs filter survival in CRRT without anticoagulation.

methodsA single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled trial with cross-over design comparing filter survival with the AN69ST membrane and the original AN69 membrane in 39 patients treated with continuous venovenous hemofiltraton (CVVH) without additional heparin.

resultsFilter survival with the AN69ST membrane (n = 75) was 14.2 ± 8.2 h, which is not significantly different from the 13.3 ± 10.3 h for the original AN69 membrane (n = 76; p = 0.59). Limiting the analysis to those treatments that were interrupted for filter clotting yielded similar results: 14.4 ± 8.2 h for the AN69 ST membrane (n = 62) versus 14.1 ± 7.5 h for the original AN69 membrane (n = 56) (p = 0.93).

conclusionsCompared with the original AN69 membrane, the surface-treated AN69ST membrane does not prolong filter survival during CVVH without systemic anticoagulation and with the CRRT settings used in this study.
