Interhospital Transportation of Pediatric Patients Undergoing Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV ECMO) Support-A 3-Year Regional Experience.
Article in Pediatric reports, 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
objectiveExtracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has long been used in the treatment of acute respiratory and circulatory failure by providing time for damaged organs to recover. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of interhospital transport of pediatric patients with acute respiratory failure who had undergone venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) initiated at the referring facilities. SUBJECTS AND
methodsBecause of the critical condition of these patients, the high risk associated with transport, and the failure of conventional therapies, ECMO was initiated at the referring center. After cannulation, the patients were transported by ground ambulance to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Poznań for further treatment.
resultsFourteen patients aged 2 months to 11 years with acute respiratory failure were transferred to our ECMO center. The mean time from decision to departure was 7.62 h, and the mean ICU stay before transfer was 4.14 days. The mean transport distance was 157.5 km. No mortality occurred during transport, and no serious adverse events were reported. Two technical complications were noted.
conclusionsInterhospital transport of pediatric patients on VV ECMO initiated at referring centers was feasible and safe, with favorable outcomes in patients who have exhausted conventional intensive care options. Effective collaboration between referring hospitals, ECMO centers, and emergency medical services was essential for optimal results.
