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

objectivesTo describe our use and experience with an "in-series" approach for patients requiring both continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) as well as therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE).

designRetrospective review of case notes.

settingGeneral and cardiac PICUs at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. PATIENTS: Children (0-18 yr old) requiring both CRRT and TPE between 2018 and 2022.

interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsTwelve children were successfully and safely treated with 32 TPE sessions and 38 CRRT sessions with our in-series CRRT and TPE setup using a total of 20 extracorporeal circuits and 11 additional plasma filters or hemofilters. This represents a reduction of 71% in standard circuit usage.

conclusionsOur approach to providing "in-series" CRRT and TPE used existing access and circuits, a single device, and resulted in efficient treatments, reduced infection risk, reduced exposure to circuits, less hemodilution, and less blood product use. Small potential cost and waste reductions were also achieved. This approach was performed safely with no unexpected adverse events.
