Evaluation of continuous renal replacement therapy efficacy in severe caffeine intoxication: concentration-dependent variation in caffeine clearance.
Article in CEN case reports, 2026. 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
Hemodialysis is an effective treatment option for acute caffeine intoxication. However, the efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy remains a subject of debate. We encountered a case of acute caffeine intoxication that was managed using high-flow continuous hemodiafiltration. To evaluate the effectiveness of high-flow continuous hemodiafiltration, we compared it with other continuous renal replacement therapy approaches in managing cases of caffeine intoxication. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the caffeine-removal ability of continuous renal replacement therapy and assess its effectiveness. Additionally, we aimed to investigate the underlying reasons for the conflicting reports regarding the effectiveness of continuous renal replacement therapy. The time course of the blood caffeine concentration and elimination half-life were used for the evaluation. A woman in her 40s attempted suicide by ingesting an overdose of caffeine hydrate tablets. She presented with sweating, vomiting, tachycardia, sinus tachycardia, and tremors. The serum caffeine concentration in this case decreased from 103 to 50 μg/mL after high-flow continuous hemodiafiltration. The initial symptoms at the time of admission also disappeared post-treatment. Caffeine clearance by continuous renal replacement therapy may vary depending on the blood caffeine concentration, and this concentration-dependent variation may lead to discrepancies in the evaluation of continuous renal replacement therapy. The discrepancies in the ongoing debate regarding the efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy were likely attributable to the selection of inappropriate comparators. We inferred that continuous renal replacement therapy provides a therapeutic benefit because continuous renal replacement therapy may facilitate caffeine clearance.
