Joint Society of Critical Care Medicine-Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Task Force Position Paper on the Role of the Intensivist in the Initiation and Management of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Article in Critical care medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectivesTo define the role of the intensivist in the initiation and management of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
designRetrospective review of the literature and expert consensus.
settingSeries of in-person meetings, conference calls, and emails from January 2018 to March 2019. SUBJECTS: A multidisciplinary, expert Task Force was appointed and assembled by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization. Experts were identified by their respective societies based on reputation, experience, and contribution to the field.
interventionsA MEDLINE search was performed and all members of the Task Force reviewed relevant references, summarizing high-quality evidence when available. Consensus was obtained using a modified Delphi process, with agreement determined by voting using the RAND/UCLA scale, with score ranging from 1 to 9. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsThe Task Force developed 18 strong and five weak recommendations in five topic areas of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation and management. These recommendations were organized into five areas related to the care of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: patient selection, management, mitigation of complications, coordination of multidisciplinary care, and communication with surrogate decision-makers. A common theme of the recommendations is extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is best performed by a multidisciplinary team, which intensivists are positioned to engage and lead.
conclusionsThe role of the intensivist in the care of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation continues to evolve and grow, especially when knowledge and familiarity of the issues surrounding extracorporeal membrane oxygenation selection, cannulation, and management are applied.
