Recirculation in Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This review focuses on recirculation in the context of Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Life Support in adults. The methods employed to calculate and quantify the extent of recirculation, as well as factors affecting recirculation and interventions that could reduce recirculation, are detailed. As recirculation may significantly reduce extracorporeal oxygen delivery, leading to refractory hypoxemia, detecting and quantifying the recirculation fraction is fundamental in order to optimize VV-ECMO lung support. Although it is necessary to assess extracorporeal oxygen delivery, quantifying the amount of recirculation may be difficult. Besides mathematical methods, different experimental techniques for the direct measurement of recirculation are in development at present. Moreover, specific interventions and ECMO configurations could significantly reduce recirculation, and innovative systems are under study in this regard. Nevertheless, further human studies are needed to validate and standardize their use in clinical practice, and there remain limited data on their effectiveness and safety. More pre-clinical and clinical studies are required to assess the results obtained thus far and to improve the technologies to minimize the potential complications associated with their use.
