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

Nipro-Toyobo-paracorporeal pulsatile flow VAD (Nipro VAD; Nipro, Osaka, Japan) has been used most commonly as a paracorporeal VAD (p-VAD) in Japan. There are few reports describing clinical course of post LVAD explantation and its complication. We herein present two cases of apical abscess after the explantation of the device. SSI is a main risk factor of formation of the apical abscess at the time of LVAD explantation. It is mandatory to perform sufficient debridement and closure of the layers including abdominal muscle and anterior abdominal fascia at exit sites in the explantation surgery. Omentopexy is also helpful for prevention from infection. Routine removal of apical cuff and outflow graft could be considered as one of the options when LVAD is explanted as bridge to recovery.
