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

backgroundCritically ill patients frequently require continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). During CRRT, particles up to 10 kDa in size, such as enoxaparin, may be removed. The aim of this study was to determine if patients receiving prophylactic doses of enoxaparin and treated with continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) reach prophylactic values of anti-Xa factor activity.

methodsIn this observational trial, we compared two groups: 20 patients treated with CVVHDF and 20 patients not treated with CVVHDF. All of them received prophylactic doses of 40 mg of enoxaparin subcutaneously. Anti-Xa factor activity was determined on the third day of receiving a prophylactic dose of enoxaparin. The first blood sample was taken just before the administration of enoxaparin, and other samples were taken 3 h, 6 h, and 9 h after the administration of a prophylactic dose of enoxaparin.

resultsAt 3 and 6 h after administration of enoxaparin in both groups, we observed a significant increase in anti-Xa factor activity from baseline, with the peak after 3 h of administration. There were no significant differences in the numbers of patients who had anti-Xa factor activity within the prophylactic range between CVVHDF and control groups.

conclusionCVVHDF has only a mild effect on the enoxaparin prophylactic effect measured by anti-Xa factor activity. Thus, it seems there is no need to increase the dose of enoxaparin for patients requiring CVVHDF.
