Neurological monitoring in ECMO patients: current state of practice, challenges and lessons.
Review in Acta neurologica Belgica, 2023. 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
backgroundExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in critically ill patients serves as a management option for end-stage cardiorespiratory failure in medical and surgical conditions. Patients on ECMO are at a high risk of neurologic adverse events including intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), acute ischemic stroke (AIS), seizures, diffuse cerebral edema, and hypoxic brain injury. Standard approaches to neurological monitoring for patients receiving ECMO support can be challenging for multiple reasons, including the severity of critical illness, deep sedation, and/or paralysis. This narrative literature review provides an overview of the current landscape for neurological monitoring in this population.
methodsA literature search using PubMed was used to aid the understanding of the landscape of published literature in the area of neurological monitoring in ECMO patients.
resultsReview articles, cohort studies, case series, and individual reports were identified. A total of 73 varied manuscripts were summarized and included in this review which presents the challenges and strategies for performing neurological monitoring in this population.
conclusionNeurological monitoring in ECMO is an area of interest to many clinicians, however, the literature is limited, heterogenous, and lacks consensus on the best monitoring practices. The evidence for optimal neurological monitoring that could impact clinical decisions and functional outcomes is lacking. Additional studies are needed to identify effective measures of neurological monitoring while on ECMO.
