Ceftaroline pharmacokinetics on ECMO, a pediatric case report.
Article in International journal of antimicrobial agents, 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
backgroundIn-vitro studies suggest that patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may struggle to achieve therapeutic ceftaroline exposure to treat infections due to antibiotic sequestration within the ECMO oxygenator; however, there are no published data regarding ceftaroline concentrations from patients supported by ECMO. PATIENT PRESENTATION: Here we present an analysis of ceftaroline pharmacokinetics in a 5-y-old patient supported on ECMO due to influenza-associated necrotizing pneumonia.
resultsA total of nine concentrations were analyzed, including three concentrations prior to cannulation and six on ECMO. ECMO cannulation was associated with a relatively small change in the volume of distribution (0.17 L/kg to 0.20 L/kg) and clearance (1.00 mL/min/kg to 0.86 mL/min/kg). This patient continued to achieve 100%-time above MIC while on ECMO. Substantial adsorption or sequestration were not observed in this circuit using a Nautilus oxygenator.
conclusionsThis case report demonstrates that achieving therapeutic ceftaroline concentrations for patients on ECMO may be feasible using current oxygenators. Clinicians could consider continuing ceftaroline therapy following ECMO cannulation for patients achieving good microbiologic response.
