Intravenous enoxaparin as alternative ECMO anticoagulation over a period of 94 days: a case report.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundUnfractionated heparin is used worldwide as a standard anticoagulation therapy for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machines. However, its use brings about significant bleeding and thrombotic complications for critically ill patients. This case report shows that low molecular weight heparin together with ECMO-produced primary haemostasis pathology can be used as an alternative way of ECMO anticoagulation. CASE PRESENTATION: This paper presents the case of a patient with respiratory failure who subsequently suffered from cardiac failure and spent 94 days on combined V-V and V-A ECMO devices (two ECMO devices running simultaneously on one patient) with intravenous enoxaparin used instead of unfractionated heparin anticoagulation. No life-threatening bleeding/thrombotic events happened during this period, nor did any technical problems with ECMO occur.
conclusionsIn this case report, continuous intravenous low molecular weight heparin anticoagulation was used as a safe alternative to ECMO anticoagulation.
