The Use of Antifactor Xa Assays in a Comprehensive Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Anticoagulation Protocol is Associated with Increased Survival and Significant Blood Product Cost-Savings.

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 augmented our standard extracorporeal membrane oxygenation laboratory protocol to include antifactor Xa assays, thromboelastography, and antithrombin measurements. We performed a retrospective chart review to determine outcomes for patients placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) prior to and after the initiation of our anticoagulation laboratory protocol. A total of 663 consecutive ECMO runs were evaluated from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2018. Of these patients, 252 were on ECMO prior to initiation of the anticoagulation laboratory protocol on September 1, 2011, and 411 patients were on ECMO after initiation of the protocol. There were no major changes to our extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit or changes to our transfusion threshold during this continuous study period. Transfusion utilization data revealed statistically significant decreases in almost all blood components, and a savings in blood component inflation-adjusted acquisition costs of 31% bringing total blood product cost-savings to $309,905 per year. In addition, there was an increase in survival to hospital discharge from 45 to 56% associated with the initiation of the protocol (
