1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Patients in the Intensive Care Unit commonly develop acute renal failure (ARF). The kidneys are rarely the only organs failing in these patients. Frequently ARF is part of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The choice of dialytic therapy should consider, not only the efficacy of the therapy, but also the undesirable effects such therapy may have on the other failing organs. Intermittent Haemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis were the conventional forms of dialysis available. Both are associated with complications which may make them unsuitable for use in the haemodynamically unstable, hypercatabolic patients, seen in the Intensive Care setting. Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) has been introduced in many Intensive Care Units to provide a more stable, flexible form of dialysis. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the various forms of CRRT and to discuss the advantages of this form of therapy.
