Overt Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation with Severe Hypofibrinogenemia During Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Article in The journal of extra-corporeal technology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a life-threatening hematologic derangement characterized by dysregulated thrombin generation and excessive fibrinolysis. However, DIC is poorly characterized in the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) population, and the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Several mechanisms contribute to DIC in ECMO, including consumption of coagulation factors, acquired von Willebrand's syndrome leading to thrombocytopenia, and hyperfibrinolysis. There are few case reports of DIC in adult ECMO patients. Most are in the context of venoarterial ECMO, which is typically used in the setting of cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. These disease states themselves are known to be associated with DIC, liver failure, impaired anticoagulant mechanisms, and increased fibrinolysis. We present an unusual case of a 74-year-old man who developed overt DIC during veno-venous (VV) ECMO. DIC resulted in clinical bleeding and severe hypofibrinogenemia requiring massive cryoprecipitate transfusion of 87 pooled units. When the patient was decannulated from ECMO, his platelet count and fibrinogen concentration improved within 24 hours, suggesting that ECMO was a proximate cause of his DIC.
