Rescue extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pediatric patients: a nine-year single-center experience in Zagreb, Croatia.
Article in Croatian medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo investigate the risk factors and the outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in pediatric patients treated at the University Hospital Center Zagreb, the largest center in Croatia providing pediatric ECMO.
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled all the pediatric patients who required E-CPR from 2011 to 2019. Demographic data, cardiac anatomy, ECMO indications, ECMO complications, and neurodevelopmental status at hospital discharge were analyzed.
resultsIn the investigated period, E-CPR was used in 16 children, and the overall survival rate was 37.5%. Six patients were in the neonatal age group, 5 in the infant group, and 5 in the "older" group. There was no significant difference between the sexes. Four patients had an out-of-hospital arrest and 12 had an in-hospital arrest. Twelve out of 16 patients experienced renal failure and needed hemodialysis, with 4 out of 6 patients in the survivor group and 8 out of 10 in the non-survivor group. Survivors and non-survivors did not differ in E-CPR duration time, lactate levels before ECMO, time for lactate normalization, and pH levels before and after the start of ECMO.
conclusionThe similarity of our results to those obtained by other studies indicates that the ECMO program in our hospital should be maintained and improved.
