1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

ECPR effectiveness in OHCA remains inconsistent, and age-related effect modification is not well defined. This retrospective study analyzed 470 adult patients (2011-2025), comparing ECPR (n=71) to CCPR (n=399). Using multivariable regression and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW), we found that increasing age independently associated with higher mortality (aOR: 1.064). Also, a significant interaction between age and treatment strategy was identified (p<0.001). ECPR provided a substantial mortality reduction in younger patients, but this benefit progressively attenuated with age. These findings demonstrate that ECPR effectiveness is strongly age-dependent. Consequently, age should be considered as a continuous effect modifier rather than a rigid eligibility threshold for ECPR selection.
