Cavitation in left ventricular assist device patients: a potential early sign of pump thrombosis.
Review in Heart failure reviews, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mechanical ventricular support with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has emerged as a durable and safe therapy, both as bridge-to-transplant (BTT) or destination therapy (DT), in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). However, the occurrence of pump thrombosis (PT) still represents a serious complication, especially when LVADs of first or second generation are implanted. During the latest years, some investigations have recognized the occurrence of cavitation, evidenced through transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), as a potential early and indirect sign of PT. In the present manuscript, we reviewed the available data on the occurrence of cavitation in LVAD patients as an early potential marker of PT, also presenting the hemodynamic mechanisms involved.
