Modified, bicarbonate-augmented direct peritoneal resuscitation for refractory acidosis after damage control laparotomy: a single-center case series.

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
Introduction: Despite the utilization of damage control laparotomy (DCL) in acute care surgery, refractory acidosis remains a formidable challenge. This retrospective case series describes our experience with modified direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR) with sodium bicarbonate in conjunction with DCL as an adjunct for refractory acidosis. Methods: We present a retrospective case series of nine adult patients from one tertiary care center following DCL with refractory acidosis treated with DPR using 1.5% peritoneal dialysate with 300 mEq of sodium bicarbonate per 2 L bag. Results: The change in patients' pre-intervention vs 24-hour post-intervention pH was significant, 0.25 (95% CI 0.011 to 0.392; p=0.031). The change in lactic acid at 24 hours was also significant at -10.2 (mmol/L) (95% CI -16.9 to -3.6; p=0.016). Changes in norepinephrine doses trended down, but did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: Further investigation of DPR with sodium bicarbonate for managing refractory acidosis in patients who undergo DCL is warranted.
