1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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) is a life-supportive treatment in neonatal patients with refractory lung and/or heart failure. Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe complication and reliable predictors are warranted. The aims of this study were to explore the incidence and possible predictors of ICH in ECMO-treated neonatal patients. We performed a single-center retrospective observational cohort study. Patients aged ≤ 28 days treated with ECMO between 2010 and 2018 were included. Exclusion criteria were ICH, ischemic stroke, cerebrovascular malformation before ECMO initiation or detected within 12 h of admission, ECMO treatment < 12 h, or prior treatment with ECMO at another facility > 12 h. The primary outcome was a CT-verified ICH. Logistic regression models were employed to identify possible predictors of the primary outcome. Of the 223 patients included, 29 (13%) developed an ICH during ECMO treatment. Thirty-day mortality was 59% in the ICH group and 16% in the non-ICH group (p < 0.0001). Lower gestational age (p < 0.01, odds ratio (OR) 0.96; 95%CI 0.94-0.98), and higher pre-ECMO lactate levels (p = 0.017, OR 1.1; 95%CI 1.01-1.18) were independently associated with increased risk of ICH-development. In the clinical setting, identification of risk factors and multimodal neuromonitoring could help initiate steps that lower the risk of ICH in these patients.
