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

Risk of limb ischemia in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is minimized with the use of distal perfusion catheters (DPCs). However, conventional sheaths utilize a flow-limiting side port connection, reducing efficacy. We report 5 cases wherein we utilized a commercially available DPC with a removable side port in patients treated with VA-ECMO. The use of a DPC without a side port increased flow by 220% when compared to the use of a DPC with a side port. No patients experienced limb ischemia while on VA-ECMO.
