Anti-infective prescribing practices in critically ill children on continuous renal replacement therapy: a multicenter survey of French-speaking countries.
Article in Journal of nephrology, 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
backgroundUse of continuous renal replacement therapy in children receiving anti-infective drugs may lead to inappropriate concentrations with risks related to treatment failure, toxicity and emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. We aimed to describe anti-infective prescribing practices in critically ill children undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy.
methodsAn online survey to assess continuous renal replacement therapy, anti-infective prescribing and therapeutic drug monitoring practices was sent by e-mail to physicians working in pediatric intensive care units through the French-speaking Group of Pediatric Intensive Care and Emergency medicine (GFRUP).
resultsFrom April 1st, 2021 to May 1st, 2021, 26/40 pediatric intensive care units participated in the survey, corresponding to a response rate of 65%. Twenty-one were located in France and five abroad. All pediatric intensive care units administered continuous renal replacement therapy, primarily with Prismaflex™ System. Anti-infective prescriptions were adjusted to the presence of continuous renal replacement therapy in 23 (88%) pediatric intensive care units mainly according to molecular weight in 6 (23%), molecule protein binding in 6 (23%) and elimination routes in 15 (58%) including residual diuresis in 9 (35%), to the continuous renal replacement therapy flow in 6 (23%) and to the modality of continuous renal replacement therapy used in 15 (58%), pediatric intensive care units. There was broad variability among pediatric intensive care units and among physicians within the same unit. Barriers to therapeutic drug monitoring were mainly an excessive delay in obtaining results in 11 (42%) and the lack of an on-site laboratory in 8 (31%) pediatric intensive care units.
conclusionsOur survey reported wide variability in anti-infective prescribing practices in children undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy, thus highlighting a gap in knowledge and the need for education and recommendations.
