1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Heart failure is a major healthcare problem associated with morbidity and mortality. Despite progress in treatments, the prognosis of heart failure remains poor. Standard treatments for heart failure include medical therapy, resynchronization therapy, and cardiac surgery. Heart failure teams providing guideline based care assist in the optimal management for advanced heart failure. Progression of heart failure despite optimal management may be treated with heart transplant. In non-transplant eligible patients, implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) may improve patients 'quality of life and survival. Advances in LVADs, including smaller size, increased device durability, and (near) totally implantable devices, may enable LVADs to become an option in less sick patients. Evolving therapeutics such as stem cells and novel therapeutics may be combined with LVADs to allow myocardial recovery. This article will review current and developing strategies in the surgical management of heart failure with an emphasis on LVAD therapy.
