Nurse education on sedation management in ECMO: A small-group training approach.
Article in Journal of perioperative practice, 2026. 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
Sedation during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is challenging due to altered pharmacokinetics. At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Wythenshawe Hospital, the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale is the standard tool for sedation monitoring; however, it lacks precision in assessing deep sedation. Bispectral Index (BIS) monitoring offers an objective assessment but remains underused, partly because of limited nursing training. This article presents the implementation of small-group teaching sessions (SGTS) on ECMO sedation and BIS monitoring, integrated into existing ECMO refresher training. The sessions included interactive presentations, followed by anonymous feedback collection to evaluate perceptions of the clarity, relevance, appropriateness and usefulness of the SGTS. Sixty-one staff members attended, and 44 provided feedback. All respondents indicated that their learning needs were met, and 93% reported confidence in using BIS independently. The training was highly rated for clarity, relevance and practical value. Overall, our SGTS approach improved nurses' understanding and confidence in BIS monitoring and ECMO sedation, supporting broader clinical adoption and highlighting the value of continued professional education.
