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

Unilateral lung diseases such as unilateral pneumonia, trauma or pulmonary hemorrhage can cause profound hypoxemic respiratory failure necessitating mechanical ventilation. These disorders are characterized by marked asymmetry in lung mechanics, with the affected lung having a lower compliance compared to the healthier lung, and management involves complex strategies such as simultaneous independent lung ventilation. However, such strategies can be challenging in pediatric populations due to technical limitations, and also lead to ventilator induced lung injury. We report two unique cases that support the use of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as an alternative strategy for management of unilateral lung disease in children.
