Intensive care unit management of percutaneous mechanical circulatory supported patients: the role of imaging.
Article in European heart journal supplements : journal of the European Society of Cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The clinical management of patients on Impella support requires multimodality monitoring and imaging. Upon intensive care unit admission, echocardiography is essential to ensure correct pump positioning/guide repositioning, to monitor acute myocardial infarction/device-related cardiac complications and to evaluate baseline left and right ventricular function. Over time, the echocardiographic assessment of myocardial viability has become an essential target for guiding mechanical circulatory support escalation and long-term strategies. The recognition and grading of any valvular dysfunction and damage in Impella patients are challenging, as the device interferes with the colour Doppler signal, and the loading conditions of the left ventricle are modified by the pump. Valvular disease in such patients is often secondary, and correct identification is pivotal for future therapeutic strategies. The emerging use of newer techniques, including speckle-tracking echocardiography, is of increasing interest in the imaging of critically ill patients.
