VV extracorporeal life support for the Third Millennium: will we need anticoagulation?
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Since the late 1600's medicine and science have entertained the idea of extracorporeal circulation. With this technology to allow for cardiac and pulmonary support came the development of anticoagulation. Although this advanced the technology and capabilities of extracorporeal life support, it was not without complications and risks. The most common complications in extracorporeal life support (ECLS) present day are related to hemorrhage and thrombus due to the need for systemic anticoagulation and the challenges associated with it. This review focuses on present day techniques for anticoagulation for ECLS and what future surface modifications may do to obviate the use of systemic anticoagulation entirely.
