Management of penetrating cardiac injury and tricuspid regurgitation with extracorporeal-membrane oxygenation (ECMO): a case report.

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
backgroundGunshot wounds (GSW) to the heart are lethal, and most patients die before they arrive to the hospital. Survival decreases with number of cardiac chambers involved. We report a case of a 17-year-old male who survived a GSW injury involving two cardiac chambers with acute severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) who subsequently developed cardiogenic shock requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. CASE PRESENTATION: A 17-year-old male sustained a single gunshot wound to the left chest, resulting in pericardial tamponade and right hemothorax. Emergency sternotomy revealed injury to the right ventricle and inferior cavoatrial junction with the adjacent pericardium contributing to a right hemothorax. The cardiac injuries were repaired primarily. Tricuspid regurgitation was confirmed immediately postoperatively. Five days after presentation, the patient developed cardiogenic shock secondary to TR requiring emergent stabilization with ECMO. He subsequently underwent successful tricuspid valve replacement.
conclusionsThis is the first report to our knowledge of successful ECMO support of severe TR due to gunshot injury to the heart.
