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

backgroundAugmented renal clearance (ARC), an increase in kidney function with enhanced elimination of circulating solute, has been increasingly recognized in critically ill adults. In a pediatric intensive care setting, data are scarce. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of ARC in critically ill children. Secondary objectives included a risk factor analysis for the development of ARC and a comparison of two methods for assessment of renal function.

methodsIn 105 critically ill children between 1 month and 15 years of age, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was measured by means of a daily 24-h creatinine clearance (24 h Cl

resultsOverall, 67% of patients expressed ARC and the proportion of ARC patients decreased during consecutive days. ARC patients had a median Cl

conclusionsA large proportion of critically ill children develop ARC during their stay at the intensive care unit. Clinicians should be cautious when using Schwartz formula to detect ARC. Our findings require confirmation from large study cohorts and investigation of the relationship with clinical outcome.
