Effect of low bicarbonate substitution solution on CO
Article in Intensive care medicine experimental, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe concurrent application of extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO₂R) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) delivers essential respiratory and renal support. However, the use of bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) in substitution solution increases the external HCO₃⁻ load and affect the carbon dioxide removal rate (VCO₂). This study aims to investigate the influence of low bicarbonate substitution solution on VCO₂ within the combined ECCO₂R-CRRT system.
methodsThis crossover study was conducted with hypercapnic pigs and patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In pigs, we tested two extracorporeal blood flow rates (200 and 350 mL/min) alongside three continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) strategies: a control group receiving ECCO₂R alone without CVVH, a low HCO₃⁻ group receiving ECCO₂R combined with CVVH (HCO₃⁻ concentration of 16 mmol/L at a substitution rate of 30 mL/kg/h), and a normal HCO₃⁻ group (HCO₃⁻ concentration of 25 mmol/L). Respiratory variables, hemodynamic parameters, and VCO₂ were measured 30 min after each intervention. In ARDS patients, we also assessed ECCO₂R combined with these CVVH strategies. The primary endpoint was the comparison of VCO₂ among the three groups in both the pig and patient.
resultsThis study involved 12 hypercapnic pigs. At a blood flow rate of 200 mL/min, the VCO
conclusionA low bicarbonate concentration of 16 mmol/L in the substitution solution may optimize CO₂ elimination in the ECCO₂R-CRRT system, especially at lower extracorporeal blood flow rates.
