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

backgroundSinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), a serious complication after hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), is associated with multiorgan dysfunction (MOD) and a high mortality rate. In severe cases, continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is initiated to manage fluid overload (FO) and acute kidney injury. Studies that evaluate the use of CKRT in this population are lacking. The aim of our study was to assess the outcome of critically ill children with severe SOS post HCT who received CKRT. We also sought to assess factors associated with survival and liberation post CKRT. PROCEDURE: Retrospective review of all children admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with SOS post HCT who received CKRT from January 2010 to August 2022.

resultsAmong the 53 children who received CKRT post HCT, 13 had severe SOS. The median age was 6 years; 62% were males, and most (77%) received allogeneic HCT. In this cohort, 92% required respiratory support and 85% required vasopressor support. The ICU survival rate was 62%. Survivors experienced lower cumulative FO on the 2 days following CKRT initiation (-4.2% in survivors vs. -0.5% in non-survivors, p = 0.07). Higher urine output on D1 and D2 after discontinuation of CKRT was associated with successful liberation.

conclusionsIn this study of post-HCT children with SOS and MOD who received CKRT, 62% survived until ICU discharge. This survival rate is encouraging as it approximates the survival rates of general pediatric cohorts treated with CKRT. Reducing FO after initiation of CKRT can improve survival in these children.
