Mechanical circulatory support in children: past, present and future.
Review in Translational pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Rapid advances in the field of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) have dramatically changed the management of pediatric patients with heart failure. There is now emphasis on timely implantation of ventricular assist devices (VADs) to preserve or recover end-organ function, and increased focus on post-implant management to improve the stroke rate. Transplant waitlist mortality has significantly decreased in the era of VAD use. Devices approved for adults are being used off-label in children with excellent outcomes, allowing chronic therapy and discharge home to become part of pediatric VAD therapy.
