Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV-ECMO) as Treatment for Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury.
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
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) manifests as acute lung injury and hypoxemia occurring several hours after transfusion. While treatment typically involves cessation of the transfusion and supportive measures, severe cases may necessitate mechanical ventilation, including the initiation of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). In this case, we present a severe instance of TRALI after a blood transfusion during a femoral endarterectomy. The patient's condition deteriorated intra-operatively post-transfusion, marked by worsening hypoxia and ventilator dyssynchrony, necessitating increased sedation, paralytics, and inhaled nitric oxide. With the patient's respiratory status continuing to decline, VV-ECMO was initiated, resulting in complete recovery of lung function. Our report underscores the rare recovery of TRALI with ECMO, highlighting its efficacy during the acute phase of a transfusion reaction.
