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

backgroundThe implantation of a ventricular assist device (VAD) is more frequently used as destination therapy of end-stage heart failure compared to the use of the device as bridge-to-transplantation, this results in an increasing number of noncardiac surgical procedures for patients implanted with a VAD.

objectiveFor these procedures, the anesthesia provider faces various device-related complications, such as an increased risk for bleeding complications, thromboembolism, hypotension, infections, mechanical device limitations, and right heart failure. Anesthesia care is challenging in this high-risk patient population and has significant implications on patient outcome.

conclusionMore research is needed to determine specific guidelines for the anesthesiological management of VAD patients undergoing noncardiac surgical procedures. In this manuscript, device-related perioperative complications and concepts of anesthesia care for noncardiac procedures in patients implanted with a VAD are briefly reviewed.
