Review of Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Development of Intracardiac Thrombosis in Adult Cardiothoracic Patients.
Review in The journal of extra-corporeal technology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) has become an indispensable treatment option for adult cardiothoracic patients experiencing acute refractory cardiogenic shock. VA ECMO is not without inherent complications as in-hospital mortality has ranged from 45% to 65% (1-3). Intracardiac thrombosis (ICT) is a rare but life-threatening complication associated with VA ECMO. VA ECMO cases complicated by ICT were searched for using the MEDLINE (PubMed and OVID), Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiology Headquarters, and Google Scholar databases. Twelve cases of VA ECMO-associated ICT were discovered for review. Indications for VA ECMO were postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock and heart failure. The primary location of thrombus was the left ventricle and aortic root. Majority of the cases did not report subtherapeutic systemic anticoagulation. Two patients survived after the development of ICT. VA ECMO-associated ICT is a devastating consequence with high mortality. The majority of ICT occurred in cases with perceived adequate anticoagulation, but this may not result in complete suppression of the coagulation response. Continued exposure to procoagulant stimuli and worsening ventricular function and intracardiac stasis can shift the balance toward a hypercoagulable state and development of thrombosis.
