Ischemic necrosis of the right colon in a patient with a ventricular assist device system.
Article in Techniques in coloproctology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Despite improvements in medical therapy, the annual high mortality rate from end-stage heart failure continues. Although cardiac transplantation is a successful treatment for these patients, the shortage of donor hearts has led surgeons to seek other options. Ventricular assist device (VAD) technology is applied to a broader population of heart failure patients, and clinicians are confronted with the specialized perioperative and chronic care of patients who receive these devices. VAD implantation is now an acceptable means of bridging to heart transplantation. We report a case of isolated right colon necrosis in a patient with VAD, who was successfully treated with right hemicolectomy and ileocolostomy.
