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

The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has had a positive impact on the outcomes after lung transplantation. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has a role in all phases of lung transplantation-preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. It serves as a bridge to transplantation in appropriate patients awaiting lung transplantation. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is used as a preferred method of cardiopulmonary support in some centres during implantation; and, after lung transplantation, it can be used to salvage the implanted lung in cases of severe primary graft dysfunction or as a planned extension of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation onto the postoperative period. It has now gained acceptance as a mandatory tool in most lung transplant units. This article reviews the history of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and lung transplantation, their subsequent development, and the current use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during lung transplantation. Our institutional practice and experience are described. The implications of the current global coronavirus disease pandemic on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and lung transplantation are also briefly discussed.
