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

backgroundWe evaluated critically ill patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) due to cardiac arrest (CA) with respect to baseline characteristics and laboratory assessments, including lactate and lactate clearance for prognostic relevance.

methodsThe primary endpoint was 30-day mortality. The impact on 30-day mortality was assessed by uni- and multivariable Cox regression analyses. Neurological outcome assessed by Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) was pooled into two groups: scores of 1⁻3 (bad GOS score) and scores of 4⁻5 (good GOS score).

resultsA total of 93 patients were included in the study. Serum lactate concentration (hazard ratio (HR) 1.09; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04⁻1.13;

conclusionsWhereas lactate clearance does not predict mortality, it was the sole predictor of good neurological outcomes and might therefore guide clinicians when to stop ECPR.
