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

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) use has revolutionised the care of patients with advanced heart failure, allowing more patients to survive until heart transplantation and providing improved quality for patients unable to undergo transplantation. Despite these benefits, improvements in device technology, and better clinical care and experience, LVADs are associated with neurologic complications. This review provides information on the incidence, risk factors, and management of neurologic complications among LVAD patients. Although scant guidelines exist for the evaluation and management of neurologic complications in LVAD patients, a high index of suspicion can prompt early detection of neurologic complications which may improve overall neurologic outcomes. A better understanding of the implications of continuous circulatory flow on systemic and cerebral vasculature is necessary to reduce the common occurrence of neurologic complications in this population.
