Pathophysiology of respiratory failure and physiology of gas exchange during ECMO.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Lungs play a key role in sustaining cellular respiration by regulating the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. This is achieved by exchanging these gases between blood and ambient air across the alveolar capillary membrane by the process of diffusion. In the microstructure of the lung, gas exchange is compartmentalized and happens in millions of microscopic alveolar units. In situations of lung injury, this structural complexity is disrupted resulting in impaired gas exchange. Depending on the severity and the type of lung injury, different aspects of pulmonary physiology are affected. If the respiratory failure is refractory to ventilator support, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be utilized to support the gas exchange needs of the body. In ECMO, thin hollow fiber membranes made up of polymethylpentene act as blood-gas interface for diffusion. Decades of innovative engineering with membranes and their alignment with blood and gas flows has enabled modern oxygenators to achieve clinically and physiologically significant amount of gas exchange.
