Effects of systemic mild hypercapnia on brain function in a refractory cardiac arrest model treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 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
Introduction: Cardiac arrest (CA) is a major cause of mortality and neurologic disability. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) may be used in refractory CA to potentially reduce hypoxic-ischemic brain injuries. Currently, no recommendation exists regarding optimal carbon dioxide levels in ECPR patients. Methods: Twelve pigs were submitted to 5 min of untreated ventricular fibrillation followed by 25 min of CPR; 30 min after CA induction, ECPR was initiated and defibrillations delivered until ROSC. Pigs were randomly assigned to normocapnia (NC; PaCO Results: Mean PbtO Conclusions: In this model of ECPR, HC was associated with increased cerebral glucose concentrations and reduced caspase-8 expression, without changes in PbtO
