Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for tuberculosis-related acute respiratory distress syndrome: An international multicentre retrospective cohort study.
Article in Critical care (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo report the outcomes of patients with severe tuberculosis (TB)-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), including predictors of 90-day mortality and associated complications.
methodsAn international multicenter retrospective study was conducted in 20 ECMO centers across 13 countries between 2002 and 2022.
resultsWe collected demographic data, clinical details, ECMO-related complications, and 90-day survival status for 79 patients (median APACHE II score of 20 [25th to 75th percentile, 16 to 28], median age 39 [28 to 48] years, PaO
conclusionThe use of ECMO for TB-related ARDS appears to be justifiable. Patients with miliary TB have a much better prognosis compared to those with cavitary TB on VV ECMO.
