Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Outside the Operating Room in Neonates and Infants.
Article in Interdisciplinary cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, 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
objectivesLong-term outcomes of emergent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) initiated outside the operating room remain poorly defined. We evaluated long-term outcomes after emergent ECMO support outside the operating room in neonates and infants.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 59 neonates and infants requiring emergent ECMO support outside the operating room at our institution (2010-2024). The primary outcome was overall survival after ECMO support. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital outcomes, mortality risk factors, and the impact of manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) duration at ECMO cannulation.
resultsMedian age and body weight at emergent ECMO were 1.6 months and 3.2 kg, respectively. Indications for ECMO were extracorporeal CPR in 40 (68%) patients, cardiogenic shock in 12 (20%), septic shock in 1 (2%), and respiratory failure in 6 (10%). The median manual CPR duration was 36 min. A CPR duration exceeding 36 min was associated with cervical ECMO cannulation (P = .001) and hypoxic encephalopathy (P = .008). The median ECMO duration was 4 days. Forty-two (71%) patients were weaned from ECMO, and 32 (54%) survived to discharge. At a median follow-up of 3.7 years, overall survival after ECMO support was 57%, 47%, and 44% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Multivariable analysis detected non-cerebral bleeding (P = .049) and lack of catheter/surgical intervention (P = .004) as mortality risk factors.
conclusionsLong-term survival after emergent ECMO outside the operating room was acceptable in neonates and infants. Strategies to reduce bleeding complications and minimize resuscitation time may further improve outcomes. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: R19092; December 20, 2020.
