Abdominal skeletal muscle mass as a predictor of mortality in Japanese patients undergoing left ventricular assist device implantation.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
aimsWe assessed preoperative muscle wasting in patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantations using abdominal skeletal muscle images on computed tomography (CT) and explored the associations between the preoperative muscle wasting and clinical outcomes after LVAD implantation. METHODS AND
resultsWe retrospectively examined the records of 111 patients who underwent continuous-flow LVAD implantations as bridge-to-transplant therapy from January 2010 to December 2016 at our institution. After 33 patients were excluded, the study cohort consisted of 78 individuals. CT images used to calculate the skeletal muscle index (SMI) at the third lumbar vertebra level were obtained before the LVAD implantation procedures. Patients were classified as having muscle wasting if their SMI fell into the lowest gender-based tertile. The median SMI for the study patients was 37.6 cm
conclusionsPreoperative muscle wasting was associated with a higher mortality in patients with LVAD. Assessment of the abdominal skeletal muscle area on CT prior to LVAD implantation can help predict mortality.
