On-Hours Compared to Off-Hours Pediatric Extracorporeal Life Support Initiation in the United States Between 2009 and 2018-An Analysis of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We aimed to investigate whether there are differences in outcome for pediatric patients when extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is initiated on-hours compared with off-hours.
designRetrospective cohort study.
settingTen-year period (2009-2018) in United States centers, from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry. PATIENTS: Pediatric (>30 d and <18 yr old) patients undergoing venovenous and venoarterial ECLS.
interventionsThe primary predictor was on versus off-hours cannulation. On-hours were defined as 0700-1859 from Monday to Friday. Off-hours were defined as 1900-0659 from Monday to Thursday or 1900 Friday to 0659 Monday or any time during a United States national holiday. The primary outcome was inhospital mortality. The secondary outcomes were complications related to ECLS and length of hospital stay. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsIn a cohort of 9,400 patients, 4,331 (46.1%) were cannulated on-hours and 5,069 (53.9%) off-hours. In the off-hours group, 2,220/5,069 patients died (44.0%) versus 1,894/4,331 (44.1%) in the on-hours group (
conclusionsSurvival and complication rates are similar for pediatric patients when ECLS is initiated on-hours compared with off-hours. This finding suggests that, in aggregate, the current pediatric ECLS infrastructure in the United States provides adequate capabilities for the initiation of ECLS across all hours of the day.
