Design of an entrustable professional activity for adult extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Article in Surgery open science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation supports severe cardiac or pulmonary failure. There are currently no competency-based standards for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation training.
methodsExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation experts were interviewed using a structured interview. Responses were audio recorded, transcribed, and validated by respondents. Interviews were coded using grounded theory with a constant comparison method. Themes were developed and used to construct the entrustable professional activity, which was reviewed by the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation experts.
resultsNine experts were interviewed; all had experience with trainees. Interview themes identified include patient selection, circuit and medical management, multidisciplinary communication, problem-based learning and simulation, and entrustment decisions. Essential functions of the entrustable professional activity were patient selection, circuit management, cannula selection, responding to circuit emergencies/complications, anticoagulation management, weaning, and family/team communication.
conclusionsEssential functions of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation entrustable professional activity were defined using data from structured interviews. The resultant entrustable professional activity could be implemented by critical-care programs as a scaffolding for competency-based fellow training.
