Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation as a Bridge to Recovery in Children With Severe Necrotizing Pneumonia: Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Necrotizing pneumonia is a severe complication of bacterial or viral pneumonia that can lead to refractory respiratory failure in children. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as a vital rescue therapy when conventional treatments fail, primarily serving as a bridge to recovery. We describe the successful use of venovenous ECMO (VV-ECMO) in two pediatric patients diagnosed with severe necrotizing pneumonia. The first patient, a two-year-old boy, developed necrotizing pneumonia caused by parainfluenza 3 virus. He required seven days of VV-ECMO support for refractory hypoxic hypercapnic respiratory failure. He was decannulated and then extubated on day 14 of his illness to a nasal cannula. The second patient, a five-year-old girl, was diagnosed with necrotizing pneumonia caused by
