Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Set-up, Indications, and Complications.
Article in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) occupies an increasingly important position in the clinic for the management of cardiac and/or pulmonary failure. As a rescue therapy, ECMO can support patients following respiratory or cardiac compromise to act as a bridge to recovery, to decision, or to transplant. This chapter reviews briefly the history of ECMO implementation as well as device modes, from veno-arterial, veno-venous, veno-arterial-venous, and veno-venous-arterial set-ups. The importance of acknowledging complications that can arise in each of these modes cannot be overlooked. Both bleeding and thrombosis are inherent risks to the use of ECMO and the existing strategies for management are reviewed. The device also elicits an inflammatory response, and the use of extracorporeal approaches can lead to infection, both of which are important to examine when reflecting how ECMO can be successfully implemented in patients. This chapter both discusses the understanding of these various complications and highlights the need for future research.
