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

The use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) therapies in children with medically refractory cardiac failure has increased over the past two decades. With the growing experience and expertise, MCS is currently offered as a bridge to recovery or heart transplantation and in some cases even as destination therapy. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in patients with end-stage heart failure (ESHF). When severe AKI develops requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT), these patients present unique challenges for the pediatric nephrology team. The use of KRT has not been adequately described in children with ESHF on the newer MCS. We also present original case series data from our center experience. The purpose of this review is to familiarize the reader with the current MCS technologies, approach to their selection, how they interact when combined with current KRT circuits, and distinguish similarities and differences. We will attempt to highlight the distinctive features of each technology, specifically focusing on growing trends in use of continuous-flow ventricular assist devices (CF-VAD) as it poses additional challenges to the pediatric nephrologist.
