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

backgroundContinuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) is used in critically ill patients, but its impact on O₂ and CO₂ removal, as well as the accuracy of resting energy expenditure (REE) measurement using indirect calorimetry (IC) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effects of CVVHDF on O₂ and CO₂ removal and the accuracy of REE measurement using IC in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy.

designProspective, observational, single-center study. METHODOLOGY: Patients with sepsis undergoing CVVHDF had CO₂ flow (QCO₂) and O₂ flow (QO₂) measured at multiple sampling points before and after the filter. REE was calculated using the Weir equation based on V̇CO₂ and V̇O₂ measured by IC, using true V̇CO₂ accounting for the CRRT balance, and estimated using the Harris-Benedict equation. The respiratory quotient (RQ), the ratio of V̇CO₂ to V̇O₂, was evaluated by comparing measured and true values.

resultsThe mean QCO₂ levels measured upstream of the filter were 76.26 ± 17.33 ml/min and significantly decreased to 62.12 ± 13.64 ml/min downstream of the filter (p < 0.0001). The mean QO₂ levels remained relatively unchanged. The mean true REE was 1774.28 ± 438.20 kcal/day, significantly different from both the measured REE of 1758.59 ± 434.06 kcal/day (p = 0.0029) and the estimated REE of 1619.36 ± 295.46 kcal/day (p = 0.0475). The mean measured RQ value was 0.693 ± 0.118, while the mean true RQ value was 0.731 ± 0.121, with a significant difference (p < 0.0001).

conclusionsCVVHDF may significantly alter QCO₂ levels without affecting QO₂, influencing the REE and RQ results measured by IC. However, the impact on REE is not clinically significant, and the REE value obtained via IC is closer to the true REE than that estimated using the Harris-Benedict equation. Further studies are recommended to confirm these findings.
