Association of Plasma Biomarkers of Immunothrombosis With Death in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 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
backgroundCritical illness in coronavirus disease 2019 may require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. We quantified immunothrombotic markers in patients with COVID-19 receiving ECMO and evaluated their predictive capacity for death.
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 74 consecutive patients with COVID-19 on ECMO at a single academic medical center between March 2020 and February 2021. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 nucleocapsid RNA and 16 immunothrombotic biomarkers were longitudinally quantified and their trajectories were used to predict death and decannulation across multiple models.
resultsMale sex, smoking, serum bilirubin levels, and low partial arterial oxygen pressure-fraction of inspired oxygen ratio were associated with increased risk of death. Plasma levels of 10 immunothrombotic markers were significantly elevated in fatal cases and some were associated with an increased hazard of death (eg, interleukin 8, von Willebrand factor) or decreased hazard for decannulation (eg, angiopoietin 2, interleukin 1β) when adjusting for sex, smoking status, and time to cannulation. Predictive models incorporating biomarkers were superior to demographics alone and equivalent to models including clinical information.
conclusionsWe found that male sex, smoking, and select clinical variables and immunothrombotic markers were risk factors for death in patients with COVID-19 on ECMO informing pathogenesis and prognostication of severe COVID-19.
