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

backgroundAnticoagulation-free continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) was recommended by the current clinical guideline for patients with increased bleeding risk and contraindications of citrate. Nevertheless, anticoagulation-free CRRT yielded heterogeneous filter lifespan. Furthermore, the specific cutoff values for traditional coagulation parameters to predict sufficient filter lifespan of anticoagulation-free CRRT have not yet been determined. The purpose of our present study was to develop and validate a model for predicting sufficient filter lifespan in anticoagulation-free CRRT patients.

methodsPatients who underwent anticoagulation-free CRRT in our center between June 2013 and June 2019 were retrospectively included. The primary outcome was sufficient filter lifespan (≥24 h). Thirty-seven predictors were included for modeling based on their clinical significance and previous reports. The final model was developed by using multivariable logistic regression analysis and was validated in a separate external cohort.

resultsThe development cohort included 170 patients. Sufficient filter lifespan was observed in 80 patients. Thirteen variables were independent predictors for sufficient filter lifespan by logistic regression: body temperature, mean arterial pressure, activated partial thromboplastin time, direct bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen, vasopressor use, body mass index, white blood cell, platelet count, D-dimer, uric acid, and pH. The area under the curve (AUC) of the stepwise model and internal validation model was 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] [0.76-0.88]) and 0.8 (95% CI [0.74-0.87]), respectively. The positive predictive value and the negative predictive value of the stepwise model were 0.77 and 0.79, respectively. The validation cohort included 44 eligible patients and the AUC of the external validation model was 0.82 (95% CI [0.69-0.96]).

conclusionsThe use of a prediction model instead of an assessment based only on coagulation parameters could facilitate the identification of the patients with filter lifespan of ≥24 h when they accepted anticoagulation-free CRRT.
