Emergency abdominal surgery in patients with left ventricular assist device: short- and long-term results.
Article in Postepy w kardiologii interwencyjnej = Advances in interventional cardiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionEmergency abdominal surgery (EAS) in patients with long-term mechanical circulatory support and strong anticoagulation is very difficult.
aimTo present our experiences regarding the short- and long-term results of patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) who underwent emergency abdominal surgery under general anesthesia at a large tertiary healthcare center. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe electronic medical records of 7 patients with LVAD who underwent EAS between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2016 were retrospectively investigated in order to evaluate perioperative management and outcomes. The patients were divided into two groups based on the need for EAS procedures.
resultsSeven (9.2%) of 76 patients with LVAD underwent EAS an average of 79.1 ±79.4 days after implantation. No statistically significant differences were found between the groups with and without EAS with regard to demographic characteristics, type of device, and rate of perioperative mortality (
conclusionsThe EAS is not rare during LVAD treatment but is a rather complex procedure. General surgeons will be increasingly likely to encounter such patients as their numbers rise and their life expectancies are prolonged.
