Antifungals in Patients With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Clinical Implications.
Review in Open forum infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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-saving technique used in critical care medicine for patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure. This review examines the treatment and prophylaxis of fungal infections in ECMO patients, proposing specific regimens based on available data for different antifungals (azoles, echinocandins, amphotericin B/liposomal amphotericin B) and invasive fungal infections. Currently, isavuconazole and posaconazole have the most supported data, while modified dosages of isavuconazole are recommended in ECMO. Echinocandins are preferred for invasive candidiasis. However, choosing echinocandins is challenging due to limited and varied data on concentration loss in the ECMO circuit. Caution is likewise advised when using liposomal amphotericin B due to uncertain concentrations and potential ECMO dysfunction based on scarce data. We further conclude with the importance of further research on the impact of ECMO on antifungal drug concentrations to optimize dosing regimens in critically ill patients.
