Intestinal Ischaemia and Perforation After Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV-ECMO) for Acute Exacerbation of Interstitial Lung Disease: An Autopsy Case.

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
A 75-year-old man with interstitial lung disease was admitted with an acute exacerbation and severe hypoxemic respiratory failure. During intensive care management, he developed acute myocardial infarction, required veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and later underwent continuous haemodiafiltration for an acute kidney injury. A pulmonary embolism, gastrointestinal bleeding and intestinal perforation subsequently occurred, and the patient died of septic shock on day 40 of hospitalisation. An autopsy showed diffuse alveolar damage superimposed on a usual interstitial pneumonia pattern, intra-alveolar haemorrhage, a subacute myocardial infarction, pulmonary arterial thrombi, a terminal ileal perforation with transmural necrosis and microthrombi in the intestinal wall. This case illustrates the difficulty of balancing thrombosis and bleeding during and after extracorporeal support for an acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease and highlights the need for early suspicion of intestinal ischaemia in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation who exhibit unexplained anaemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, worsening sepsis, or rising lactate levels, particularly during deep sedation.
