Complete Neurodevelopmental and Cardiac Recovery After Prolonged Cardiac Arrest With Extracorporeal Resuscitation: A 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
Acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) is characterized by severe myocardial inflammation associated with cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, and a high mortality risk. Early extracorporeal life support (ECLS) can improve survival but also carries the risk of serious complications. We present the case of a two-year-old female patient admitted with AFM and cardiogenic shock. While preparations were underway to initiate ECLS, she suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. The patient underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for 27 minutes. She remained in a state of myocardial stunning for the next two days. Her clinical course was further complicated by the development of a large intracardiac thrombus, which required systemic thrombolysis with alteplase and anticoagulation therapy. She progressed to multiorgan failure, fluid overload, and rhabdomyolysis, necessitating continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The patient remained on ECLS for 20 days and CRRT for seven weeks. Despite a prolonged and complex course, she was ultimately discharged home with an excellent neurodevelopmental outcome and a complete cardiac recovery. This case highlights key factors that may contribute to improved outcomes in pediatric patients with AFM requiring ECPR and ECLS.
