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

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and respiratory failure can occur after drowning. Some of these patients do not respond to conventional mechanical ventilation and require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Patients with severe respiratory failure can also develop acute right heart failure. We describe a case of a young drowning victim who developed ARDS and subsequent right heart failure. The patient was initiated on venovenous ECMO with right atrial to pulmonary artery cannulation of ECMO using the Protek Duo (TandemLife, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). The patient recovered from his ARDS and heart failure and was successfully liberated from ECMO. We will discuss the utility of ECMO in drowning victims and the use of this unique cannulation strategy to support the right ventricle in patients with concomitant respiratory failure.
