Increased Plasma Concentrations of Extracellular Vesicles Are Associated with Pro-Inflammatory and Pro-Thrombotic Characteristics of Left and Right Ventricle Mechanical Support Devices.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) allows for functional left and right heart ventricle replacement. MCS induces a systemic inflammatory reaction and prothrombotic state leading to an increased risk of thrombus formation. The extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles released from active/injured cells characterized by prothrombotic properties. Simple inflammatory parameters from whole blood count analysis have established a clinical role in everyday practice to describe immune-inflammatory activation. We hypothesized that increased plasma concentrations of EVs might be associated with the proinflammatory and pro-thrombotic characteristics of left ventricle assist device (LVAD) and right ventricle assist device (RVAD) devices. We presented a pilot study showing the concentration of peripheral blood serum, right and left ventricle mechanical assist device extracellular concentration in relation to thrombotic complication in patients treated with a biventricular pulsatile assist device (BIVAD). The observation was based on 12 replacements of pulsatile pumps during 175 days of observation. The proinflammatory characteristics of LVAD were noted. The proinflammatory and procoagulant activation by RVAD was observed. The results may provide possible explanations for the worse results of right-sided mechanical supports observed in clinical practice.
