Timing and Trends of Right Atrial Pressure and Risk of Right Heart Failure After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation.
Article in Journal of cardiac failure, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundElevated right atrial pressure (RAP) is associated with poor outcomes after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. However, the optimal time for RAP measurement and the importance of resolution of right heart congestion prior to LVAD implantation remain unclear. METHODS AND
resultsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of 134 consecutive LVAD recipients from our institution. Congestion was defined as RAP ≥ 14 mmHg and was assessed at hospital admission and implant. The primary outcome was death or right ventricular assist device (RVAD) implantation. When stratified by congestion status at admission, congested and non-congested patients had similar event-free survival rates (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.2, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.6-2.6). However, when stratified at implant, congested patients had a higher rate death or RVAD implantation (HR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.1-5.6). Patients were then divided into 4 groups based on their trajectory of congestion status: no congestion, resolved congestion, new congestion, or persistent congestion. Patients with no congestion and resolved congestion had similar outcomes, whereas patients with persistent congestion had a markedly increased rate of death or RVAD implantation (HR: 3.1, 95% CI: 1.3-7.6).
conclusionRAP at LVAD implantation is more strongly associated with postoperative outcomes than admission RAP. Patients not responsive to decongestive therapies, with persistently elevated RAP, represent a high-risk cohort for adverse outcomes following LVAD implantation.
