Comparison of the oxygenation index and the oxygen saturation index as clinical indicators for neonatal ECMO.

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
Introduction: Neonatal hypoxic respiratory failure is commonly assessed with the oxygenation index (OI) to determine severity and guide ECMO initiation. Calculation of the OI requires arterial blood sampling which can be difficult to obtain. A non-invasive alternative, the oxygen saturation index (OSI), has shown promise, but its utility in ECMO determination is not well-described. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between the OI and OSI in neonates requiring ECMO. Methods: We pursued a retrospective chart review of 64 neonatal ECMO patients at Kentucky Children's Hospital (2012-2022) and analyzed OI and OSI values in the 12 h preceding ECMO initiation. Results: A moderate correlation was observed between the OI and OSI. An OSI >17.41 predicted ECMO initiation, and OI can be estimated with the equation: OI = 1.978(OSI)-6.743. Conclusion: These findings suggest OSI may be a useful adjunct to OI for assessing neonatal respiratory failure and could be beneficial when arterial sampling is impractical.
