Cytokine Storm Syndrome Triggered by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Pediatric Patients.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition caused by severe systemic inflammation, immune activation, and a positive feedback loop of cytokine release. Typically triggered by systemic infection, malignancy, monogenic or rheumatic disease, similar patterns of hyper-inflammation have been seen in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and in patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Typical treatments used for the prevention and treatment of CPB/ECMO-induced hyper-inflammation have not been shown to be substantially effective. Two patients suffering from ECMO-related CSS were identified by their severe hyper-inflammatory profile and life-threatening sequelae of vasodilatory shock and respiratory failure. Anakinra, an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, was employed as specific cytokine-directed therapy for the treatment of CSS in these two patients to good effect, with significant improvement in hyper-inflammation and cardiorespiratory status. The use of cytokine-directed therapies in CPB/ECMO-related CSS has great potential to improve the treatment and outcomes of this serious condition.
