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

backgroundBody mass index (BMI) is an important consideration for transplant-eligible left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients. LVAD therapy's impact on BMI is unclear. We evaluated BMI changes in patients who underwent LVAD implantation. The association between these patients' BMI and the transplant was studied.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent LVAD implantation between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2018 at our institution. Patients were stratified by preoperative BMI (kg/m

resultsA total of 107 patients underwent LVAD implantation at our institution. Data were available for 80 patients. Baseline characteristics included a mean age of 56.0 years, 69% male, and a mean implant BMI of 29.9 ± 6.8 kg/m

conclusionsAssociated weight changes during LVAD support may significantly impact transplant candidacy. Higher BMI groups may benefit from multimodal and multidisciplinary targeted weight-loss interventions.
