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

Outcomes for invasive mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to treat acute respiratory failure in patients with mild cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease are not known. We present a case of the successful use of ECMO to treat acute respiratory failure secondary to staphylococcal sepsis in an adolescent CF patient with previously normal lung function. Her post-ECMO course was notable for severe airflow obstruction, hypoxemia, deconditioning, and growth failure. She had significantly improved at six months follow-up, though she continued to have moderate airflow obstruction on pulmonary function testing. This case illustrates that ECMO and prolonged intubation can prolong life in CF patients with mild lung disease who present with potentially reversible acute respiratory failure, though they are associated with significant morbidity.
