Optimizing Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy with Regional Citrate Anticoagulation: Insights from the ORCA Trial-A Retrospective Study on 10 Years of Practice.

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
(1) Background: Citrate is preferred in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for critically ill patients because it prolongs filter life and reduces bleeding risks compared to unfractionated heparin (UFH). However, regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) can lead to acid-base disturbances, citrate accumulation, and overload. This study compares the safety and efficacy of citrate-based CRRT with UFH and no anticoagulation (NA) in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients. (2) Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on adult patients (≥18 years) who underwent CRRT from July 2010 to June 2021 in an intensive care unit. (3) Results: Among 829 AKI patients on CRRT: 552 received RCA, 232 UFH, and 45 NA. The RCA group had a longer filter lifespan compared to UFH and NA (56 h [IQR, 24-110] vs. 36.0 h [IQR, 17-63.5] vs. 22 h [IQR, 12-48]; all P
