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

Ventricular fibrillation, a life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia, may result in pulselessness, loss of consciousness and sudden cardiac death. In this case report, we describe our experience in managing a 54-year-old man with HeartMate3 left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a bridge to transplantation due to dilated non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, presenting with incessant ventricular arrhythmia for 35 days despite multiple attempts to restore normal rhythm with external direct current cardioversion and anti-arrhythmic medications. The patient remained stable in ventricular arrhythmia with no progression to asystole, but hemodynamic collapse due to right heart failure occurred in the third week. Combined use of two mechanical circulatory support devices (LVAD with VA ECMO) was needed to achieve haemodynamic and metabolic stability, eventually leading to successful heart transplantation in the index admission. The patient was discharged home 2 weeks after transplantation in good clinical condition.
