1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hollow fiber membrane is incorporated into an extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO), and the function of the membrane determines the ECMO's functions, such as gas transfer rate, biocompatibility, and durability. In Japan, the membrane oxygenator to assist circulation and ventilation is approved for ECMO support. However, in all cases, the maximum use period has been only 6 h, and so-called 'off-label use' is common for ECMO support of severely ill COVID-19 patients. Under these circumstances, the HLS SET Advanced (Getinge Group Japan K.K.) was approved in 2020 for the first time in Japan as a membrane oxygenator with a two-week period of use. Following this membrane oxygenator, it is necessary to establish a domestic ECMO system that is approved for long-term use and suitable for supporting patients. Looking back on the evolution of ECMO so far, Japanese researchers and manufacturers have also contributed to the developments of ECMO globally. Currently, excellent membrane oxygenators and systems have been marketed by Japanese manufacturers and some of them are globally acclaimed, but in fact, most of the ECMO membranes are not made in Japan. Fortunately, Japan has led the world in the fields of membrane separation technology and hollow fiber membrane production. In the wake of this pandemic, from the perspective of medical and economic security, the practical use of purely domestic hollow fiber membranes and membrane oxygenators for long-term ECMO is imperative in anticipation of the next pandemic.
