Distal Perfusion Cannulation and Limb Complications in Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Article in The journal of extra-corporeal technology, 2018. 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
The utility of distal perfusion cannula (DPC) placement for the prevention of limb complications in patients undergoing femoral venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is poorly characterized. Patients undergoing femoral VA ECMO cannulation at two institutions were retrospectively assessed. Patients were grouped into those who did and those who did not receive a DPC at the time of primary cannulation. The primary outcome was any limb complication. Secondary outcomes included successfully weaning ECMO and in-hospital mortality. A total of 75 patients underwent femoral cannulation between December 2010 and December 2017. Of those, 65 patients (86.7%) had a DPC placed during primary cannulation and 10 patients (13.3%) did not. Baseline demographics, indications for ECMO, and hemodynamic perturbations were well matched between groups. The rate of limb complications was 14.7% (11/75) for the overall cohort and did not differ between groups (
