Cannulating the contraindicated: effect of low birth weight on mortality in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Article in Journal of pediatric surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
background/purposeRestrictions for ECMO in neonates include birth weight less than 2kg (BW <2kg) and/or gestational age less than 34weeks (GA <34weeks). We sought to describe their relationship on mortality.
methodsNeonates with a primary diagnosis code of CDH were identified in the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) registry, and logistic regression models were used to examine the effect of BW <2kg and GA <34weeks on mortality.
resultsWe identified 7564 neonates with CDH. The overall mortality was 50%. There was a significantly higher risk of death with unadjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.39 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.53-3.74; P<0.01) for BW <2kg neonates. The adjusted OR of death for BW <2kg neonates remained significantly high with over two-fold increase in the odds of mortality when adjusted for potential confounding variables (OR 2.11, 95% CI: 1.30-3.43; P<0.01). However, no difference in mortality was observed in neonates with GA <34weeks.
conclusionsWhile mortality among CDH neonates with a BW <2kg was substantially increased, GA <34weeks was not significantly associated with mortality. Effort should be made to identify the best candidates for ECMO in this high-risk group and develop treatment strategies to optimize their survival. TYPE OF STUDY: Case-Control Study, Retrospective Comparative Study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.
