Axillary Approach for Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (ECMO) is a form of mechanical circulatory support that is used in patients with severe dysfunction of heart or lung or both. Depending on whether it is venovenous or venoarterial support, it can temporarily substitute for circulation and ventilation while the underlying cause is addressed. Traditional approach for cannulation usually involves the femoral vessels. This is due to the easy accessibility, larger lumen of vessels, and physician expertise and training in femoral approach. However, in certain circumstances like critical lower extremity ischemia, crush injury or trauma to lower extremity, and lower extremity infections (like necrotizing fasciitis), this approach is not practical. In these situations, axillary vasculature provides a good substitute for ECMO cannulation.
