Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device.
Review in Korean circulation journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
There have been great advances in ventricular assist device (VAD) treatment for pediatric patients with advanced heart failure. VAD support provides more time for the patient in the heart transplant waiting list. Augmented cardiac output improves heart failure symptoms, end-organ function, and general condition, and consequently provides beneficial effects on post-transplant outcomes. Miniaturized continuous flow devices are more widely adopted for pediatric patient with promising results. For infants and small children, still paracorporeal pulsatile device is the only option for long-term support. Younger age, congenital heart disease, biventricular support, patient's status and end-organ dysfunction at the time of implantation are risks for poor outcomes. Patient selection, timing of implantation, and selection of device for each patient are critical for optimal clinical outcomes.
