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

Catheter-based micro-axial ventricular assist device Impella® (Abiomed, Danvers, MA) has been used in Japanese patients with drug-refractory acute heart failure (AHF) since 2017. This is the first interim analysis of the ongoing Japan Registry for Percutaneous Ventricular Assist Device (J-PVAD) to investigate the safety and efficacy of Impella support. Between October 2017 and January 2020, 823 Japanese patients, who were treated with the Impella 2.5, CP, or 5.0 pump, were enrolled. The primary endpoints were safety profiles and cumulative 30-day survival. Among them, 44.8% of patients were acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. The Impella pumps were unable to implant in 4 patients. The Impella 2.5, CP, and 5.0 pumps were used in 72.4%, 6.2%, and 16.6%, respectively, and mean support duration was 8.1 ± 10.2 days. Combination use of Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) was applied for 387 patients (47.3%). Pump stop occurred 22 patients (2.7%). Major adverse events included hemolysis (11.2%), hemorrhage/hematoma (6.1%), peripheral ischemia (1.6%), and stroke (1.6%). The overall 30-day survival was 62.2%. Survival of patients with single Impella support was significantly higher than patients with Impella combined with VA-ECMO support (81.1% vs 49.6%; p < 0.01), who had lower blood pressure, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, and higher degree of inotropic support. Results suggest that short-term outcome of Impella support for Japanese patients was favorable with acceptable safety profiles.
