Effects of the atrium on intraventricular flow patterns during mechanical circulatory support.

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
Simulations of the ventricular flow patterns during left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support are mainly performed with idealized cylindrical inflow, neglecting the influence of the atrial vortex. In this study, the influence of the left atrium (LA) on the intra-ventricular flow was investigated via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. Ventricular flow was simulated by a combined Eulerian (carrier flow)/Lagrangian (particles) approach taking into account either the LA or a cylindrical inflow section to mimic a fully support condition. The flow deviation at the mitral valve, the blood low-velocity volume as well as the residence time and shear stress history of the particles were calculated. Inclusion of the LA deflects the flow at the mitral valve by 25°, resulting in an asymmetric flow jet entering the left ventricle. This reduced the ventricular low-velocity volume by 40% (from 6.4 to 3.9 cm
