Mechanical circulatory support devices and treatment strategies for right heart failure.
Review in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 importance of right heart failure (RHF) treatment is magnified over the years due to the increased risk of mortality. Additionally, the multifactorial origin and pathophysiological mechanisms of RHF render this clinical condition and the choices for appropriate therapeutic target strategies remain to be complex. The recent change in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) allocation criteria of heart transplant may have impacted for the number of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), but LVADs still have been widely used to treat advanced heart failure, and 4.1 to 7.4% of LVAD patients require a right ventricular assist device (RVAD). In addition, patients admitted with primary left ventricular failure often need right ventricular support. Thus, there is unmet need for temporary or long-term support RVAD implantation exists. In RHF treatment with mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, the timing of the intervention and prediction of duration of the support play a major role in successful treatment and outcomes. In this review, we attempt to describe the prevalence and pathophysiological mechanisms of RHF origin, and provide an overview of existing treatment options, strategy and device choices for MCS treatment for RHF.
