Mobile ICU-supported ECMO rapid response team: A paradigm for regional critical care optimization.
Article in iScience, 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
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a cornerstone therapy for refractory cardiopulmonary failure, but its effectiveness depends on rapid coordination, initiation, and safe inter-hospital transfer. We evaluated a mobile ICU-supported ECMO rapid response team designed to reorganize ECMO delivery into a standardized, parallelized regional workflow. In a single-center retrospective cohort of 151 adults treated between 2021 and 2025, this model significantly shortened team response, circuit priming, ECMO initiation, and transfer times compared with conventional ad hoc care, while reducing mechanical complications and improving weaning rates, although without statistically significant survival benefit. Efficiency gains were consistent across age, sex, and diagnostic subgroups, underscoring the conceptual value of system-level redesign rather than new technology. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of a mobile ICU-based, hub-and-spoke ECMO network to enhance regional critical care efficiency and coordination, and provide a scalable framework for future prospective and multicenter evaluation.
