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

rationaleFulminant myocarditis (FM) has poor prognosis and the usual treatment is inotropes and symptomatic support. The initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) in the emergency department (ED) is a rare event. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report the case of a 45-year-old man with a complaint of 4 days of high fever and dry cough in the emergency department. DIAGNOSIS: Transthoracic echocardiogram and the medical history showed presumptive diagnosis was fulminant myocarditis with cardiogenic shock.

interventionsThe patient's condition deteriorated drastically and ECMO was initiated immediately after admission. He experienced electrical storm twice during ECMO support and was successfully treated with the combination with IABP. OUTCOMES: ECMO and IABP were continued for 11 and 14 days respectively. The patient was discharged on the 81th day after admission, with all his laboratory tests returned to normal. LESSONS SUBSECTIONS: The early initiation of ECMO and IABP in the ED is potentially life-saving for suitable patients with FM. It appears promising but has not yet been routinely implemented in underdeveloped and developing countries.
