[Infection control measures and surveillance of patients with ventricular assist devices].
Review in Der Anaesthesist, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ventricular assist devices (VAD) are a new routine therapy option for end-stage heart failure. However, the incidence of VAD-related infections varies between 20 and 188% and makes a major contribution to VAD-related morbidity. Therefore, optimised infection control policies should be applied to prevent VAD-related infections. As to date only a few studies exist investigating particular prevention measures for VAD recipients, we have tried to adapt evidence-based guidelines. In detail the following preventive measures are discussed: antibiotic prophylaxis, endocarditis prophylaxis, dressing technique for the driveline-exit site and education of patients and medical staff. A new patient-based surveillance system is proposed which reflects the different times since implantation of VADs and therefore allows a fair method for interhospital comparison.
