Survival following traumatic thoracic compartment syndrome managed with VV-ECMO.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Whilst post-traumatic respiratory failure is the most common indication for use of VV-ECMO in trauma patients, its use in traumatic thoracic compartment syndrome is not yet well described. Thoracic compartment syndrome, a rare complication of thoracic trauma, occurs in the setting of chest wall injuries, impaired chest wall compliance, pulmonary contusions and subsequent high ventilatory pressures. This in turn impairs venous return and increases risk of circulatory arrest due to obstructive shock. This case study describes the successful use of VV-ECMO in a young male with thoracic compartment syndrome following severe blunt chest trauma sustained in a high speed motor vehicle crash. Following brief circulatory arrest, thoracic compartment syndrome was relieved during thoracotomy but reoccurred on chest closure. The use of VV-ECMO for oxygenation permitted lower ventilatory pressures, allowing venous return and primary closure of the thoracotomy. The patient subsequently had an excellent functional outcome. This case describes the successful use of VV-ECMO for a novel indication. The indications for ECMO in thoracic trauma patients continue to evolve.
