1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewCirculatory and respiratory support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has gained widespread acceptance during high-end thoracic surgery. The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent knowledge and give an outlook for future developments. RECENT

findingsA personalized approach of ECMO use is state of the art for monitoring during surgery. Personalization is increasingly applied during anesthesia for high-end surgery nowadays. This is reflected in the point of care testing (POCT) for anticoagulation and cardiac function during surgery on ECMO combining specific patient data into tailored algorithms. For optimizing protective ventilation MP (mechanical power) is a promising parameter for the future. These personalized methods incorporating numerous patient data are promising for the improvement of morbidity and mortality in high-end thoracic surgery. However, clinical data supporting improvement are not available to date but can be awaited in the future. SUMMARY: Clinical practice during surgery on ECMO is increasingly personalized. The effect of personalization on morbidity and mortality must be examined in the future. Undoubtedly, an increase in knowledge can be expected from this trend towards personalization.
