An insight into short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support systems.
Review in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction, postcardiotomy syndrome following cardiac surgery, or manifestation of heart failure remains a clinical challenge with high mortality rates, despite ongoing advances in surgical techniques, widespread use of primary percutaneous interventions, and medical treatment. Clinicians have, therefore, turned to mechanical means of circulatory support. At present, a broad range of devices are available, which may be extracorporeal, implantable, or percutaneous; temporary or long term. Although counter pulsation provided by intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and comprehensive mechanical support for both the systemic and the pulmonary circulation through extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remain a major tool of acute care in patients with cardiogenic shock, both before and after surgical or percutaneous intervention, the development of devices such as the Impella or the Tandemheart allows less invasive forms of temporary support. On the other hand, concerning mid-, or long-term support, left ventricular assist devices have evolved from a last resort life-saving therapy to a well-established viable alternative for thousands of heart failure patients caused by the shortage of donor organs available for transplantation. The optimal selection of the assist device is based on the initial consideration according to hemodynamic situation, comorbidities, intended time of use and therapeutic options. The present article offers an update on currently available mechanical circulatory support systems (MCSS) for short and long-term use as well as an insight into future perspectives.
