Regional citrate and systemic heparin are adequate to maintain filter half-life for COVID-19 patients on continuous renal replacement therapy.

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
introductionThe aim of our study is to compare clotting of CRRT filters in patients with COVID-19-associated AKI versus septic shock-associated AKI.
methodsRetrospective study of adult ICU patients with COVID-19 compared to those with septic shock admitted to a tertiary hospital April-October 2020. Independent t test and chi-square test used to determine statistical significance of CRRT filter clotting between the two groups. Time-to-event data analyzed with Kaplan-Meier curves. Analyses performed on Microsoft Excel and MedCalc.
resultsTwenty-seven ICU patients with AKI requiring CRRT were included, 13 with COVID-19 and 14 non-COVID-19 patients with septic shock. The mean half-life of CRRT hemofilter was similar in COVID-19 patients compared to non-COVID-19 patients (27.4 vs. 27.5 h, p = 0.79). The number of CRRT hemofilter changes per day was similar in both groups (0.6 filter changes per day, p = 0.84). However, significantly more patients with COVID-19 were on systemic heparin (69% vs. 13%, p = 0.02).
conclusionWe found that COVID-19 patients with AKI requiring CRRT had similar CRRT hemofilter half-life compared with sepsis-associated AKI patients with use of regional citrate and systemic heparin. Further studies are needed to find which methods of anticoagulation are optimal in patients with COVID-19 infection with AKI requiring CRRT.
