Fluid Creep as an Independent Predictor of Fluid Overload and Mortality in Critically Ill Patients: A Cohort Study.

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
backgroundFluid overload (FO) is a frequent ICU complication and an important predictor of adverse outcomes. While classically attributed to resuscitative fluids, recent data emphasize the contribution of non-therapeutic "fluid creep" from medication diluents and carrier infusions. This study examined associations between fluid creep, FO, acute kidney injury (AKI), and mortality, and explored the predictive value of the modified Renal Angina Index (mRAI) for AKI risk stratification and FO; Methods: A retrospective cohort of 250 critically ill adults (ICU stay ≥72 h) admitted to a mixed medical-surgical ICU between May 2021 and November 2024 was analyzed. All fluids administered during the first 72 h were categorized and indexed to ideal body weight. Fluid creep included drug diluents, carriers, and flushes. FO% was calculated as [(Cumulative Fluid Balance)/IBW] × 100; Results: Fluid creep was higher in non-survivors (5183 ± 2541 vs. 4354 ± 2171 mL;
