Sex Differences in In-Hospital Mortality Among Patients Receiving Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundVeno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is used in cardiogenic shock, but sex-specific outcomes remain unclear. This study investigated in-hospital mortality differences by sex among patients receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed adults with cardiogenic shock treated with VA-ECMO at National Taiwan University Hospital between 2010 and 2021. After propensity score matching to improve comparability between groups, survival outcomes were assessed using Kaplan-Meier estimates, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the effect of sex on in-hospital mortality.
resultsOf the 1329 patients (average age: 57.1±15.0 years; 953 men), 670 underwent VA-ECMO for ECPR. Women in the VA-ECMO group exhibited a lower prevalence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (6.7% versus 10.7%,
conclusionsWomen who underwent ECPR had higher in-hospital mortality rates regardless of the severity of their Survival After Veno-Arterial ECMO scores, despite the absence of significant sex differences in VA-ECMO mortality. This emphasizes the necessity for sex-based strategies in ECPR administration.
