Normal saline, the known but least-examined fluid therapy method for preventing heme-induced nephropathy in children with glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Trial report in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGlucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDd) is the most common enzyme deficiency in humans. Randomized clinical trials comparing the efficacy of different types of fluid therapy for prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) following hemolysis in patients with G6PDd are lacking. The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of three different types of fluid administration, isotonic saline with or without acetazolamide versus bicarbonate solution in prevention of AKI among children with acute hemolysis due to G6PDd.
methodsIn this double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial, 120 infants and children with acute hemolysis due to G6PDd were randomly divided into three groups consisting of 40 participants in each group. Group A received normal saline. Group B received normal saline plus oral acetazolamide at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day, and group C received half saline plus 75 mEq/L sodium bicarbonate. The primary outcome of this study was the frequency of AKI among the different types of fluid administration.
resultsIn this study, 72 (60%) patients were boys with the mean age and length of hospital stay of 3.9 ± 2.2 years and 54.4 ± 29.9 h, respectively. AKI as the primary outcome of this study occurred only in one patient in group C and the rate of AKI did not differ significantly among patients receiving different types of fluid resuscitation (P > 0.05).
conclusionNormal saline was equivalent to fluids containing alkalinizing agents in preventing heme-induced nephropathy in patients with G6PDd. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
