"White-Out Lung" Following Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Initiation for Acute Refractory Respiratory Failure From Obstructive Lung Disease: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 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
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has been used as a salvage therapy for respiratory failure despite mechanical ventilation. However, evidence for its utility and associated complications remains limited. We hereby present a case report of sudden lung collapse in patients with obstructive physiologies after initiating VV-ECMO. Our case report focuses on acute lung opacification that occurred within hours of initiating VV-ECMO. Given the growing number of ECMO runs for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), intensive care teams should be aware of ventilatory changes and complications associated with the lung rest strategy while on VV-ECMO, facilitating early recognition and prompt intervention.
