Complications and outcomes of children under one year treated with continuous kidney replacement therapy.
Observational study in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 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
backgroundContinuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) in children under 12 months of age is challenging. This study aimed to compare complications and mortality between patients younger and older than 12 months receiving CKRT and to identify independent mortality risk factors.
methodsRetrospective observational study of pediatric patients treated with CKRT using adult devices in a tertiary hospital (2010-2023). Demographic, clinical, laboratory data, and complications were analyzed. Independent predictors of mortality were identified using multivariate logistic regression.
resultsA total of 186 patients were analyzed; 69% had heart disease. Common complications were catheter replacement (29%), hypotension during connection (28%), bleeding (27%), and hypocalcemia (27%). Overall mortality was 31%. Compared with older children (n = 105), infants under 12 months (n = 81) had greater illness severity, more frequently required ECMO support (57% vs. 25%, p < 0.001) and higher rates of catheter replacement (37% vs. 23%, p = 0.02), hypomagnesemia (23% vs. 10%, p = 0.008), and hypothermia (32% vs. 15%, p = 0.005), but less hypocalcemia (19% vs. 33%, p = 0.017). Mortality was higher among infants (41% vs. 23%, p = 0.007). In multivariate analysis, bleeding (OR 3.16, 95% CI 1.49-6.75, p = 0.003), initial lactate > 3 mmol/L (OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.32-6.87, p = 0.009), and normal initial creatinine (OR 3.20, 95% CI 1.35-7.78, p = 0.009) were independently associated with mortality.
conclusionsChildren under 12 months compared to older children had greater illness severity, more ECMO support, and higher rates of catheter replacement, hypomagnesemia, hypothermia, and mortality, but less hypocalcemia. Independent mortality predictors were bleeding, initial lactate > 3 mmol/L, and normal initial creatinine levels.
