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

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a salvage procedure in which extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is initiated emergently on patients who have had cardiac arrest (CA) and on whom the conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) has failed. Awareness and usage of ECPR are increasing all over the world. Significant advancements have taken place in the ECPR initiation techniques, in its device and in its post-procedure care. ECPR is a team work requiring multidisciplinary experts, highly skilled health care workers and adequate infrastructure with appropriate devices. Perfect coordination and communication among team members play a vital role in the outcome of the ECPR patients. Ethical, legal and financial issues need to be considered before initiation of ECPR and while withdrawing the support when the ECPR is futile. Numerous studies about ECPR are being published more frequently in the last few years. Hence, keeping updated about the ECPR is very important for proper selection of cases and its management. This article reviews various aspects of ECPR and relevant literature to date.
