Diagnosis and Management of LVAD Thrombosis.
Article in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2015. 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
opinion statementVentricular assist device (VAD) thrombosis is one of the most devastating complications for patients on mechanical assist devices, and has been occurring more frequently during the last 3 years for unknown reasons. The diagnosis of VAD thrombosis is challenging and requires knowledge of the various clinical presentations and high vigilance. The current review summarizes various aspects of VAD thrombosis, including possible mechanisms for the formation of VAD thrombus and its clinical presentation, and presents a suggested algorithm in diagnosing this entity, with therapeutic options. High awareness and knowledge of the variable clinical presentations of VAD thrombosis are essential in order to allow early diagnosis, which may decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with this complication.
