Heparin induced thrombocytopenia with mechanical circulatory support devices: review of the literature and management considerations.
Review in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Whether for temporary or long term use, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has seen increased utilization and interest over the past several years. Even though these devices innately cause thrombocytopenia, co-administration of heparin anticoagulation carries the risk for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). This poses challenges for practitioners as very few studies provide guidance for the management of this condition, particularly in this population. This has led to a wide spectrum of treatment protocols within current practice. This review was developed to bring together available literature on the management of HIT in patients with MCS along with practical experience and clinical opinion in order to help guide the management of these patients.
