Sustainable continuous renal replacement therapy: The influence of blood flow rates, effluent dose, autoeffluent, and citrate anticoagulation on carbon dioxide emissions.

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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to quantify the consumables waste for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in intensive care, determine the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO Design: A retrospective observational study was conducted. Setting: The study included two major tertiary intensive care units in Melbourne from January 2017 to December 2024. Participants: We analysed 70,000 h of treatment data stored on CRRT machines, captured from 2464 patients. Interventions: Quantities of all major consumables were obtained. A chemical composition analysis was performed, and life cycle analysis was done for each component. Main outcome measures: Carbon dioxide-equivalent values and financial cost estimates were calculated using local, commercial pricing. Results: Combined impact of autoeffluent, lowest effluent rate (<30 mL/kg/hr), and doubling of filter life linked to Q Conclusion: Extended circuit lifespan, autoeffluent, and moderated effluent doses translate to the most sustainable delivery of CRRT with associated cost savings.
