Impact of Renal Dysfunction on Outcomes after Left Ventricular Assist Device: A Systematic Review.
Article in International journal of heart failure, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Background and Objectives: Renal dysfunction is a common comorbidity in patients with advanced heart failure who may benefit from left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy. The effect of preoperative renal dysfunction on clinical outcomes after LVAD implantation remains uncertain. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare outcomes post-LVAD in patients with and without renal dysfunction. Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases were searched for studies comparing outcomes in patients with and without renal dysfunction who underwent LVAD implantation for advanced heart failure. The primary outcome of all-cause mortality was reported as random effects risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Our search yielded 5,229 potentially eligible studies. We included 7 studies reporting on 26,652 patients. Patients with renal dysfunction (glomerular filtration rate [GFR] <60 mL/min/1.73 m Conclusions: Patients with renal dysfunction have increased mortality after LVAD implantation when compared to patients with normal renal function. GFR can be used to risk stratify patients and guide decision making prior to LVAD therapy.
