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

backgroundIn small children, acute dialysis (pediatric acute kidney support therapy (paKST)) is increasingly used; however, it is challenging for many reasons. We compared clinical characteristics and predictors of long-term outcomes of patients < 15 kg on peritoneal dialysis (PD), hemodialysis (HD), and continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT).

methodsPatients with history of paKST (CKRT, HD, PD) weighing < 15 kg and ≥ 6 months of follow-up at Hacettepe University were included. Surviving patients were evaluated at last visit.

results109 patients (57 females) were included. Median age at paKST was 10.1 months (IQR: 2-27 months). In total, 43 (39.4%) patients received HD, 37 (34%) PD, and 29 (26.6%) CKRT. 64 (58.7%) patients died a median 3 days (IQR: 2-9.5 days) after paKST. Percentages of patients using vasopressor agents, with sepsis, and undergoing mechanical ventilation were lower in those who survived. After mean follow-up of 2.9 ± 2.1 years, 34 patients were evaluated at mean age 4.7 ± 2.4 years. Median spot urine protein/creatinine was 0.19 (IQR: 0.13-0.37) and 12 patients (35.3%) had non-nephrotic proteinuria. Three patients had estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 90 mL/min/1.73m

conclusionsPatients on paKST who undergo mechanical ventilation and vasopressor treatment should be followed-up more closely. After surviving the acute period, patients on paKST need to be followed-up closely during the chronic stage. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
