Current state of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation training in pediatric subspecialty fellowships.
Article in Perfusion, 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
IntroductionExtracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a highly complex support modality that requires specialized training for successful and optimal management and patient care. Literature regarding ECMO education provided to pediatric subspecialty physicians is limited. We conducted a survey study of pediatric critical care medicine (PCCM), neonatal-perinatal medicine (NPM), and pediatric surgery (PS) fellowship directors with the goal of understanding the extent of ECMO education offered in these training programs.MethodsSurveys were sent via email to 77 PCCM, 110 NPM, and 51 PS directors.ResultsThe overall response rate was 56%, with PCCM fellowship directors being the highest percentage of respondents. Most fellowships provided separate ECMO training in the form of a course, typically lasting ≤2 days and primarily conducted for first-year fellows. Other ECMO educational opportunities included lectures, simulation, and case-based discussions. A majority of the responding fellowship directors in PCCM and PS felt that ECMO management was a core competency of training (96% PCCM, 95% PS). However, a minority reported a formal assessment of ECMO management competency.ConclusionThis study highlights substantial variation in ECMO educational practices and limited competency evaluation across pediatric subspecialty training programs.
