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

backgroundCritically ill children have a high prevalence of malnutrition. Children with acute kidney injury experience high rates of protein debt. Previous research has indicated that protein provision is positively associated with survival.

methodsThis was a prospective observational study of all patients receiving CRRT for greater than 48 h at our tertiary care institution. Patients with inborn errors of metabolism were excluded. Data collection included energy, protein, and fluid volume intakes, anthropometrics, feeding modality, and route of nutrition intake.

resultsForty-one patients 9 ± 6.8 years of age, 66% male, received CRRT over a 10-month time period. CRRT treatment was 17.3 ± 25 days. Forty-one percent were malnourished via anthropometric criteria at CRRT start. Median protein delivery was 2 g/kg/day (IQR 1.4-2.5). Fifty-one percent received a combination of parenteral nutrition (PN) and enteral/oral feedings (EN), 34% received only PN, and 12% received only EN. Percentage of time meeting protein goals by modality was 27.6%, 34.6%, and 65.3% for those patients receiving solely EN, PN, and EN + PN combination, respectively. When weaned to only EN support from combination PN + EN, the average percentage of time protein goals were met decreased to 20.5% (p < 0.01).

conclusionsWithout PN, patients on enteral/oral nutrition support fail to meet appropriate protein prescription. Transition of parenteral to enteral feeds was identified as a period of nutritional risk in children receiving CRRT.
