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

RenOx, a novel artificial lung and kidney assist device, combines gas exchange and dialysis fibers for integrated respiratory and renal support, with dialysis fibers intended for toxin clearance and filtration. However, when kidney support is not needed, dialysis fibers could be repurposed for additional respiratory support for patients in exacerbated cases, and to compensate losses in CO 2 transfer caused by the partial replacement of gas exchange fibers by dialysis fibers. We analyzed the feasibility of extracorporeal gas transfer via dialysis membranes with fully oxygenated and decarboxylated dialysis fluid in a closed circuit, quantifying O 2 and CO 2 exchange during standardized in-vitro tests with blood. Oxygenated dialysate was pumped through a dialyzer with a similar dialysis fiber area (0.6 m 2 ) to the RenOx (adult size). Gas transfer efficiency was evaluated at blood-to-dialysate flow ratios of 1, 3, and 6. Average CO 2 removal from 12 to 35 ml/L blood was achieved by adjusting blood-to-dialysate flow ratio, approaching the full metabolic requirement of adult patients (40 ml/L blood ). Maximum oxygen supply was 15 ml/L blood . Blood pH and hematocrit were within physiological range. This study proposes a simple method to enhance lung support in the RenOx, advancing research on CO 2 removal by dialysis.
