Characteristics and outcomes of pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR): a nationwide retrospective analysis from the French pediatric ECMO Network.
Article in Annals of intensive care, 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
Objective: To report the incidence and outcomes of E-CPR for intra or extra-hospital pediatric refractory cardiac arrest (CA) within the French national pediatric ECMO (Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation) network. Methods: Retrospective study. Children (0-18 years) who underwent E-CPR for intra or extra-hospital cardiac arrest over a 5-year period (2019-2023) in one of the centers belonging to the network were included for analysis. Results: A total of 164 patients were included for analysis. Centers reported a median of 6 cases (range: 0-21). Most patients received E-CPR for intra-hospital CA (150, 91.5%), with cardiac origin suspected in 134 (84.3%) patients. Preexistent cardiac disease was reported in 94 patients (57.3%). Survival rate at PICU discharge, hospital discharge and after one-year was 29.9%, 29.3% and 27.4% respectively. We identified male gender (aOR 2.74, 95%CI 1.22 to 6.14, p = 0.014) and higher serum lactate 24 h after CA (aOR 1.11 per mol/L, 95%CI 1.03-1.18, p = 0.003) as independent factors associated with poor prognosis whereas femoral cannulation site (aOR 0.18, 95%CI 0.06 to 0.52, p = 0.002) was associated with favorable outcome. Conclusion: E-CPR is mostly performed in children with heart disease, with limited use in out-of-hospital settings. Efforts should be made to identify patients in need of ECMO before CA, as the outcome after E-CPR remains poor.
