Is Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation a Panacea?
Article in The Eurasian journal of medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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) has emerged as a vital life-support technique in critical care medicine, providing temporary circulatory and/or respiratory support for patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure unresponsive to conventional therapies. This review aims to outline the importance of ECMO and provide a comprehensive overview of its main applications. Two primary types of ECMO, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, serve distinct functions in supporting patients with cardiac or pulmonary dysfunction, respectively. While ECMO ofers life-saving potential, its utilization requires careful consideration due to its cost and resou rce-intensiveness. Thus, a comprehensive evaluation of an individual patient's clinical condition, prognosis, and potential for recovery is crucial. Ongoing research and technological advancements continually refine ECMO techniques, enhance patient selection criteria, and improve long-term outcomes. Within this narrative review, we present an updated approach to patient selection and ECMO utilization, supported by a detailed literature review. By consolidating the current evidence, we aim to provide healthcare professionals with valuable insights into the ECMO's post-pandemic role.
