Long-Term Outcomes of Extracorporeal Life Support in Respiratory Failure.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Although extracorporeal life support is an expensive method with serious risks of complications, it is nowadays a well-established and generally accepted method of organ support. In patients with severe respiratory failure, when conventional mechanical ventilation cannot ensure adequate blood gas exchange, veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is the method of choice. An improvement in oxygenation or normalization of acid-base balance by itself does not necessarily mean an improvement in the outcome but allows us to prevent potential negative effects of mechanical ventilation, which can be considered a crucial part of complex care leading potentially to an improvement in the outcome. The disconnection from ECMO or discharge from the intensive care unit should not be viewed as the main goal, and the long-term outcome of the ECMO-surviving patients should also be considered. Approximately three-quarters of patients survive the veno-venous ECMO, but various (both physical and psychological) health problems may persist. Despite these, a large proportion of these patients are eventually able to return to everyday life with relatively little limitation of respiratory function. In this review, we summarize the available knowledge on long-term mortality and quality of life of ECMO patients with respiratory failure.
