1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

background/purposeIn recent years, treatment of heart failure patients has proved to benefit from implantation of pressure sensors in the pulmonary artery. Despite this, pulmonary artery pressure is related to the left ventricle, and cannot provide information on the right side of the heart. By contrast, pressure in the central venous system is directly connected to the right atrium and could potentially predict a wider range of heart failure conditions. The purpose of this work is to find an optimal site for implantation in the central venous system of a hemodynamic wireless sensor for heart failure monitoring. Since all previous hemodynamic sensors were located in the pulmonary artery, there is no existing information about an optimal site in the central venous system.

methodsThis study analysed data obtained from CT scans of most relevant anatomical features in the inferior vena cava. The most important parameters of the sites of interest were extracted, analysed statistically and compared, with the purpose to select an optimal site of implantation.

resultsThe results obtained show that the area comprised between the iliac bifurcation and the lower renal vein (and between the second and third lumbar veins) is the most suitable site of implantation for a hemodynamic sensor. Parameters such as its straight anatomy, diameter (21 mm) and link distance (106 mm) present it as a convenient location for implantation. Its procedure appears relatively easy, as access from the femoral vein is close to the site of interest. In addition, there are not major delicate structure in its surroundings that may pose a risk to the patient.

conclusionThis study concludes that the area between the iliac join and the lower renal vein (and the 2nd and 3rd lumbar veins) is an optimal site for the accommodation of a hemodynamic sensor.
