Acute respiratory distress syndrome following multiple wasp stings treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundIt is necessary for clinicians to be aware of a rare but possible acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) complication caused by multiple wasp stings. Severe ARDS has a high mortality rate but no specific pharmacotherapies have been identified to date. This case study presents the first case of severe ARDS caused by multiple wasp stings, treated successfully with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). It also emphasizes the effectiveness of early ECMO treatment for severe ARDS with persistent hypoxemia. CASE SUMMARY: A 24-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department after being stung by more than 10 wasps within a 30-min period, with clinical symptoms of multiple rashes, dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, and vomiting. On the 2
conclusionARDS complication caused by multiple wasp stings may be fatal when mechanical ventilation becomes dangerous due to persistent hypoxemia and despite optimization of ARDS management. We propose that the early implementation of ECMO is a relatively effective treatment, although the evidence is relatively limited.
