Review in Journal of nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07550894 (A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Controlled, Multicenter, Phase III Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Phosphate-Containing Replacement Fluid in Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy), which is not on this map.

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

Hypophosphatemia is a common but often underestimated electrolyte derangement among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Low phosphate levels can lead to cellular dysfunction with potentially relevant clinical manifestations (e.g., muscle weakness, respiratory failure, lethargy, confusion, arrhythmias). In critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) renal replacement therapies (RRTs) represent a well-known risk factor for hypophosphatemia, especially if the most intensive and prolonged modalities of RRT, such as continuous RRT or prolonged intermittent RRT, are used. Currently, no evidence-based specific guidelines are available for the treatment of hypophosphatemia in the critically ill; however, considering the potentially negative impact of hypophosphatemia on morbidity and mortality, strategies aimed at reducing its incidence and severity should be timely implemented in the ICUs. In the clinical setting of critically ill patients on RRT, the most appropriate strategy could be to anticipate the onset of RRT-related hypophosphatemia by implementing the use of phosphate-containing solutions for RRT through specifically designed protocols. The present review is aimed at summarizing the most relevant evidence concerning epidemiology, prognostic impact, prevention and treatment of hypophosphatemia in critically ill patients with AKI on RRT, with a specific focus on RRT-induced hypophosphatemia.
