Acute peritoneal dialysis is an efficient and reliable alternative therapy in preterm neonates with acute kidney injury.

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.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to assess the underlying causes and outcomes of acute peritoneal dialysis (APD) and the complications of PD procedure in preterm neonates with acute kidney injury (AKI).
methodsA retrospective study of 21 preterm neonates who underwent APD in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Peking University Third Hospital between 2016 and 2019 was conducted. The demographic, clinical, biochemistry, and PD procedure--related information of the neonates was analyzed.
resultsOf the 21 preterm neonates, the average gestational age (GA) was 28.9±2.6 weeks, and the average birth weight was 1,226.7±495.3 g, and included 5 (23.8%) low-birth-weight infants (LBWIs), 7 (33.3%) very LBWIs (VLBWIs), and 9 (42.9%) extremely LBWIs (ELBWIs). The major underlying causes for APD were asphyxia (66.7%, n=14) and twin-twin transfusion syndrome (47.6%, n=10). PD procedure-related complications mainly involved inadequate drainage (n=5, 23.8%) and drainage infections (n=2, 9.5%). The median duration of PD was 3 days (range, 1 hour-20 days). Compared to pre-PD, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum K
conclusionsAPD is an efficient and reliable alternative route of renal replacement therapy particularly for reducing BUN and K
