Estimation of Central Venous Pressure by Pacemaker Lead Impedances in Left Ventricular Assist Device Patients.
Article in ASAIO journal (American Society for Artificial Internal Organs : 1992), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Volume status assessment in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients remains challenging. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices are common in LVAD patients, and the impedance across the CRT leads may be associated with hemodynamics and serve as a tool for noninvasive estimation of volume status. Ninety-one sets of measurements including cardiac filling pressures and lead impedances were prospectively obtained during ramp tests from 11 LVAD patients (65.5 ± 9.7 years old; nine male) with CRT devices. Right atrial (RA), right ventricular (RV), and left ventricular (LV) lead impedances were all significantly associated with central venous pressure (CVP) (p < 0.05). We derived the following equation: estimated CVP = 47.90-(0.086 × RA lead impedance) + (0.013 × RV lead impedance)-(0.020 × LV lead impedance). The estimated CVP had a significant correlation (r = 0.795) and good agreement with the measured CVP (mean difference -0.14 ± 1.77 mmHg). Applying the above equation on the validation cohort of twenty-one patients also maintained a strong association with measured CVP (r = 0.705). In conclusion, we have derived a novel equation to estimate CVP using lead impedance measurements. This finding may allow noninvasive monitoring of volume status in LVAD patients.
