Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a rescue measure for postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock: A retrospective observational analysis.
Article in JRSM cardiovascular disease. 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
Background: Nearly 500,000 open-heart operations are performed annually in the United States, with complications such as postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) occurring in 2-9% of cases. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a critical salvage therapy for patients unable to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study aims to review our institution's experience with ECMO in managing PCCS and to analyze patient outcomes. Methods: Following IRB approval, a retrospective observational study was conducted on adult patients aged 32-84 years who underwent open-heart procedures with the use of CPB requiring ECMO support due to failed wean from CPB from 1 April 2014 to 31 December 2022. Data were analyzed from electronic medical records for demographics, procedural details, ECMO therapy duration, and outcomes. Results: Of 45 patients identified from 6346 open-heart procedures, 33 were male, and 12 were female, with an average age of 59.9 years. The majority of patients were Caucasian (88.8%, Conclusions: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation remains a valuable rescue therapy for PCCS, achieving a 48.9% survival rate. This study highlights the importance of timely intervention and underscores the need for future research into optimizing patient selection and perioperative management.
