Pediatric ventricular assist device registries: update and perspectives in the era of miniaturized continuous-flow pumps.
Review 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 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Who cites it
15 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 34 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
The success of ventricular assist devices (VADs) in the treatment of end-stage heart failure in the adult population has led to industrial innovation in VAD design, focusing on miniaturization and the reduction of complications. A byproduct of these innovations was that newer generation devices could have clinical applications in the pediatric population. Over the last decade, VAD usage in the pediatric population has increased dramatically, and the newer generation continuous flow (CF) devices have begun to supplant the older, pulsatile flow (PF) devices, formerly the sole option for ventricular assist in the pediatric population. However, despite the increase in VAD implants in the pediatric population, patient numbers remain low, and the need to share data between pediatric VAD centers has become that much more important for the continued growth of VAD programs worldwide. The creation of pediatric VAD registries, such as the Pediatric Registry for Mechanical Circulatory Support (PediMACS), the European Registry for Patients with Mechanical Circulatory Support (EUROMACS) and the Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION) has enabled the collection of aggregate data from VAD centers worldwide, and provides a valuable resource for clinicians and programs, as more and more pediatric heart failure patients are considered candidates for VAD therapy.
