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
Background: The role of hypothermia in post-arrest neuroprotection is controversial. Animal studies suggest potential benefits with lower temperatures, but high-fidelity ECPR models evaluating temperatures below 30 °C are lacking. Objectives: To determine whether rapid cooling to 24 °C initiated upon reperfusion reduces brain injury compared to 34 °C in a swine model of ECPR. Methods: Twenty-four female pigs had electrically induced VF and mechanical CPR for 30 min. Animals were cannulated for VA-ECMO and cooled to either 34 °C for 4 h (n = 8), 24 °C for 1 h with rewarming to 34 °C over 3 h (n = 7), or 24 °C for 4 h without rewarming (n = 9). Cooling was initiated upon VA-ECMO reperfusion by circulating ice water through the oxygenator. Brain temperature and cerebral and systemic hemodynamics were continuously monitored. After four hours on VA-ECMO, brain tissue was obtained for examination. Results: Target brain temperature was achieved within 30 min of reperfusion (p = 0.74). Carotid blood flow was higher in the 24 °C without rewarming group throughout the VA-ECMO period compared to 34 °C and 24 °C with rewarming (p < 0.001). Vasopressin requirement was higher in animals treated with 24 °C without rewarming (p = 0.07). Compared to 34 °C, animals treated with 24 °C with rewarming were less coagulopathic and had less immunohistochemistry-detected neurologic injury. There were no differences in global brain injury score. Conclusions: Despite improvement in carotid blood flow and immunohistochemistry detected neurologic injury, reperfusion at 24 °C with or without rewarming did not reduce early global brain injury compared to 34 °C in a swine model of ECPR.
