Similarities in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation management across intensive care unit types in the United States: An analysis of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry.
Article in Artificial organs, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 (ECMO) use in the United States occurs often in cardiothoracic ICUs (CTICU). It is unknown how it varies across ICU types.
methodsWe identified 10 893 ECMO runs from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry across 2018 and 2019. Primary outcome was ECMO case volume by ICU type (CTICU vs. non-CTICU). Adjusting for pre-ECMO characteristics and case mix, secondary outcomes were on-ECMO physiologic variables by ICU location stratified by support type.
resultsCTICU ECMO occurred in 65.1% and 55.1% (2018 and 2019) of total runs. A minority of total runs related to cardiac surgery procedures (CTICU: 21.7% [2018], 18% [2019]; non-CTICU: 11.2% [2018], 13% [2019]). After multivariate adjustment, non-CTICU ECMO for cardiac support associated with lower 4- and 24-h circuit flow (3.9 liters per minute [LPM] vs. 4.1 LPM, p < 0.0001; 4.1 LPM vs. 4.3 LPM, p < 0.0001); for respiratory support, lower on-ECMO mean fraction of inspired oxygen ([F
conclusionsECMO mostly remains in CTICUs though a minority is associated with cardiac surgery. Statistically significant but clinically minor differences in on-ECMO metrics were observed across ICU types.
