[Extracorporeal removal of pathogens using a biomimetic adsorber-A new treatment strategy for the intensive care unit : Seraph® 100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter and its fields of application].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundIn 2019 the World Health Organization (WHO) listed antimicrobial resistance among the top 10 threats to global health. The Seraph® 100 Microbind® Affinity blood filter (Seraph® 100) has been in use since 2019 to eliminate pathogens from the bloodstream in addition to anti-infective pharmacotherapy. It is the first device used to rapidly and efficiently reduce the number of circulating bacteria and viruses.
objectiveAfter a background on the concept of extracorporeal pathogen removal in general, this review summarizes the preclinical and clinical data on the Seraph® 100 Affinity Blood Filter. The clinical effect of this treatment and potential therapeutic options are described.
methodsStructured PubMed review including references published up to February 2024.
resultsCase reports, uncontrolled observational studies and data from registries show widespread clinical use of the Seraph® 100 ranging from difficult to treat bacterial (super) infections to viral infections. The treatment can be done as stand-alone hemoperfusion or in combination with all forms of kidney replacement therapy as well as in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
conclusionThe use of the Seraph® 100 varies in terms of duration, concomitant therapy and clinical settings. Due to the absence of prospective controlled trials the clinical effect cannot be properly evaluated.
