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

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition in critically ill patients, and may contribute to significant medical, social, and economic consequences, including death. Although there have been advances in medical technology, including continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), the mortality rate of AKI is high, and there is no fundamental treatment that can reverse disease progression. The decision to implement CRRT is often subjective and based primarily on the clinician's judgment without consistent and concrete guidelines or protocols regarding when to initiate and discontinue CRRT and how to manage complications. Recently, several randomized controlled trials addressing the initiation of renal replacement therapy in critically ill patients with AKI have been completed, but clinical application of the findings is limited by the heterogeneity of the objectives and research designs. In this review, the advantages and disadvantages of CRRT initiation, clinical guideline recommendations, and the results of currently published clinical trials and meta-analyses are summarized to guide patient care and identify future research priorities.
