Safety and Efficacy of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Heating Units.
Article in World journal for pediatric & congenital heart surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPatient temperature during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is commonly managed by dedicated heating units (HUs) that are integrated into ECMO circuitry. Currently, no HU has received approval for ECMO by the FDA in the United States. Older FDA-approved HUs have been implicated in life-threatening patient infections and are no longer manufactured or available for use in the United States.
methodsWe performed laboratory tests to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Micro-Temp and the HTP-1500 HU systems that are potentially suitable for use in ECMO and describe our initial experience with the HTP-1500 HU after being placed in clinical service.
resultsBoth units demonstrated similar heating efficacy, with the HTP-1500 achieving steady-state temperature approximately 5 h earlier than the Micro-Temp. Microorganisms were detected in the water compartment of all HUs prior to and after performing the manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure, and after implementation of the HTP-1500 into clinical use we observed a decrease in the rate of bloodstream infection/ECMO days which did not reach statistical significance.
conclusionBased on the results of this analysis and our institutional experience, we believe that integration of the HTP-1500 HU, an easily replaceable HU, into ECMO systems may reduce the risk of bacterial contamination and thus nosocomial infection when the devices are cleaned and maintained according to manufacturer's guidelines.
