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
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload are common complications of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) and are associated with poor outcomes. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is often required to manage these complications, but its initiation significantly increases mortality. Currently, there is no accurate prediction model tailored for CRRT in VV-ECMO patients. Therefore, this study aims to develop and validate a risk prediction model for CRRT initiation in VV-ECMO patients. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study included patients who underwent VV-ECMO at four hospitals in China. The derivation cohort comprised patients from one hospital, while data from three other hospitals were utilized for external validation. Candidate predictors were selected using logistic regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, and the Boruta algorithm, and subsequently visualized in a nomogram. Results: A total of 234 patients were included in the study, with 130 patients in the derivation cohort and 104 patients in the external validation cohort. Among these, 57 patients (43.85%) in the derivation cohort and 36 patients (34.62%) in the external validation cohort required CRRT. The final model incorporated the following predictors: coronary artery disease (CAD) {odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence interval (CI)]: 12.58 (3.60-44.03), P<0.001}, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score [1.28 (1.10-1.48), P=0.001], platelet count (PLT) [0.99 (0.99-0.99), P=0.02], hemoglobin (HB) level [0.98 (0.96-0.99), P=0.03], and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) [1.04 (0.96-1.13), P=0.31]. The model exhibited the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.88 in the derivation cohort, and 0.75 in external validation. Conclusions: This predictive model, incorporating five key predictors, CAD, SOFA score, PLT, HB, and BUN, serves as a practical and reliable tool for assessing CRRT initiation in VV-ECMO patients, facilitating early risk stratification, timely renal risk assessment and implementation of nephroprotective strategies. Further prospective multicenter validation is needed to confirm its generalizability.
