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

Introduction: Currently, there are no clear guidelines regarding the use of recruitment maneuvers in pediatric patients with severe respiratory failure who are on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), nor is there consensus on how they should be performed. Methods: In this report, we describe pulmonary recruitment maneuvers performed in four children with respiratory failure on ECMO (three on VA-ECMO and one on VV-ECMO), all of whom were monitored using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) between March and December 2024. Results: Our findings demonstrate that EIT is a feasible tool for evaluating lung recruitability in children with severe respiratory failure on ECMO. Additionally, EIT aids in distinguishing between responders and non-responders to recruitment maneuvers.
