Is myocardial recovery possible and how do you measure it?
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Medical and device therapies that reduce heart failure morbidity and mortality also lead to decreased left ventricular volume and mass, and a more normal elliptical shape of the ventricle. These are due to changes in myocyte size, structure, and organization that have been referred to collectively as "reverse remodeling." Moreover, there are subsets of patients whose hearts have undergone reverse remodeling following mechanical circulatory support with a ventricular assist device (VAD), who are able to be weaned from their VADs, which has been referred to as "myocardial recovery." Although the term myocardial recovery has been used to describe the reversal of various aspects of the heart failure phenotype following medical and device therapy, there is no consensus with regard to what constitutes myocardial recovery; moreover, the methodology for identifying myocardial recovery in patients is unclear. These topics will be discussed in the current review.
