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

The present work sheds light on the possibilities and limitations of modern extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy in the case of heart or lung failure. Since the number of applications of extracorporeal lung and heart/lung replacement procedures has increased dramatically in the last few years in severely ill patients, decision-making for a meaningful indication and in the course of a possible therapy target change has become particularly difficult, especially with regard to the complex situation in organ transplantation in Germany. An attempt is made to elucidate the dilemma between data from large controlled trials and epidemiological studies and the patients' individuality.
