Concomitant cardiac surgery procedures during left ventricular assist device implantation: single-centre experience.
Article in Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundAdditional cardiac pathologies including tricuspid or mitral valve regurgitation are common in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients and whether to address them remains controversial. We present our institutional outcomes of concomitant cardiac procedures, other than temporary right ventricular (RV) support, at the time of LVAD implantation.
methodsFrom 03/2006 to 06/2020, 352 adult patients {median age 60 [interquartile range (IQR): 52-66] years; INTERMACS level 1 29%; INTERMACS level 2 17%; INTERMACS level 3 23%, INTERMACS level 4-6 31%; male 86%} underwent continuous-flow LVAD [Medtronic HVAD
resultsTricuspid valve annuloplasty was the most frequent concomitant procedure (77%), followed by aortic valve replacements (AVRs) or Park's stitch (33%). Temporary RV support was common in the study cohort (35%) using either extracorporeal life support (ECLS, 37%) or a temporary RV assist device (RVAD, 63%). A less invasive (LIS) implantation technique was pursued in 12%. Thirty-day mortality was comparable between those with and without concomitant surgery (4%
conclusionsConcomitant cardiac procedures, especially tricuspid and aortic valve surgery, are frequent but are associated with a higher perioperative morbidity and mortality.
