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

A 47-year-old patient was emergently placed onto venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation on postoperative day 1 after coronary artery bypass surgery for refractory ventricular tachycardic arrest. The patient subsequently lost pulses in the right lower extremity and was too unstable to be transported for a computed tomography scan or to the hybrid operating room for an angiogram. Bedside administration of contrast via the perfusion sheaths with concurrent portable radiograph allowed for imaging of the right lower extremity vasculature to assess for patency. This technique can facilitate rapid diagnosis and decision-making in a critically ill patient, avoiding high-risk transportation and/or unnecessary vascular procedures.
