Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation Timing in the Pediatric Myocarditis Population: An Exploratory Analysis From the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Children presenting with acute myocarditis may experience rapid clinical deterioration requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); however, our understanding of best practices and timing of ECMO initiation are lacking. We explored the relationships between pre-cannulation factors and survival in this high-acuity patient population.
designRetrospective review of a large international registry. Primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge, stratified by incident cardiac arrest (CA) prior to ECMO and time to cannulation after intubation. SETTING AND SUBJECTS: The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry was queried for patients less than or equal to 18 years old receiving ECMO support for myocarditis between 2007 and 2018. Exclusion criteria included being nonindex runs, non-venoarterial ECMO or missing data points for main variables studied.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsPopulation characteristics and survival were compared using
conclusionsThe results of this multicenter analysis of ECMO utilization and outcomes for pediatric myocarditis suggest that patients approaching ECMO cannulation who have not experienced CA may have better survival outcomes if cannulated onto ECMO early after intubation.
