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

The care for the patients with end-stage heart failure has been revolutionized by the introduction of durable left ventricular assist devices, providing a substantial improvement in patient survival and quality of life and an alternative to heart transplantation. The newest devices have lower instances of mechanical dysfunction and associated pump thrombosis. Despite these improvements in complications, the use of continuous flow assist devices is still associated with high rates of thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications, most notably stroke in approximately 10% of continuous flow assist devices patients per year. With the newest HeartMate 3 devices, there have been lower observed rates of stroke, which has in part been achieved by both improvements in pump technology and knowledge of the risk factors for stroke and neurological complications. The therapeutic options available to clinicians to reduce the risk of stroke, including management of hypertension and antithrombotics, will be reviewed in this manuscript.
