1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

In recent years, blood pumps have become the bridge to heart transplantation for patients with heart failure. Portability and wearability of blood pumps should be considered to ensure patient satisfaction in everyday life. To date, the focus has been on the development of portable and wearable peripheral components, little attention has been paid to the portable and wearable performance of the blood pump itself. This study reported a novel design of a wearable and portable extracorporeal centrifugal blood pump. Based on an in-house centrifugal maglev blood pump, the wearable and portable blood pump was designed with parallel inlet and outlet pipes to improve the wearable performance. A ring cavity was set at the inlet to convert the circumferential velocity of the inlet pipe to an axial velocity. The hydraulic and hemolytic performance of the baseline and portable blood pumps were analyzed and compared. Compared with the baseline pump, the hydrodynamic and hemolytic performance of the portable pump has been maintained without serious degradation. The results of this study will improve the life quality of patients with heart failure, and enhance the clinical benefits of artificial heart.
