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

Kidney replacement therapy (KRT) can provide lifesaving support for children with severely impaired kidney function. The decision about who needs KRT and when is often complex. Many acute kidney problems will resolve with conservative maanagemenent but some children with chronic or acute kidney impairment will find themselves in a position where KRT is required either as a bridge to recovery or kidney transplantation. Less commonly, children with metabolic disorders may find that the ability of their own kidneys is overwhelmed by excessive production of certain metabolites. These children may also benefit from short term KRT. This article aims to help paediatricians in training understand which children need kidney replacement therapy, the various types of treatment available, and when they are used.
