Virtual reality-guided left ventricular assist device implantation in pediatric patient: Valuable presurgical tool.
Article in Annals of pediatric cardiology. 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
Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly used for presurgical planning and teaching during surgery. However, VR aided presurgical planning toolbox for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is not widely available. We investigated the use of a VR environment with wearable headsets and touch controllers in simulating an implant in an 11-year-old boy. The technology played a significant role in the optimal positioning of the LVAD.
