Interhospital Aircraft/Ground Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Transportation by a Mobile Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Team: First Turkish Pediatric Case Series.
Article in Turkish archives of pediatrics, 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
objectiveExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a life-saving treatment for patients with circulatory and respiratory failure refractory to standard therapy. However, safe and timely patient transport to the referral extracorporeal membrane oxygenation center is critical for better patient outcomes in patients with acute cardiogenic shock. This study aimed to describe children's features who were transferred to our center under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation by aircraft/ground vehicle and demonstrated the importance of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for transported children. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe report the first Turkish pediatric case series of patients with acute cardiogenic shock transported by aircraft and ground ambulances on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support to a referral extracorporeal membrane oxygenation center between January 2016 and January 2021.
resultsOverall, 6 patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support were transported by aircraft and ground vehicles to our pediatric intensive care unit. Transport was achieved by fixed-wing aircraft in 5 patients and commercial aircraft in 1. Our mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation team cannulated 3 patients, and 3 patients were cannulated by the team at the hospital they applied to. The median age was 112 (range: 14-204) months and the median weight was 28.6 kg (range: 8.6-57.2 kg). The etiology of acute cardiogenic shock was fulminant myocarditis in 4 patients, dilated cardiomyopathy in 1, and transposition of great arteries and atrial flutter in 1. The median distance of travel for the patients to our hospital was 618 (407-955) km. No adverse events were detected during aircraft or ground vehicle transport.
conclusionMobile pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation transport teams may provide safe aircraft and ground vehicle transportation in high-risk patients with acute cardiogenic shock bridging to survival or long-term circulatory support.
