Left ventricular functional improvement appears to contribute to lower rates of device thrombosis in patients on durable mechanical circulatory support.

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
By unloading the failing heart, left ventricular (LV) assist devices (LVADs) provide a favorable environment for reversing adverse structural and functional cardiac changes. Prior reports have suggested that an improved native LV function might contribute to the development of LVAD thrombosis. We used the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support and found that LV functional improvement is associated with a lower risk for device thrombosis. The risk for cerebrovascular accident and transient ischemic attack was comparable across post-LVAD LV function subgroups, while the risk of hemolysis was lower in subgroups of patients with better LV function on LVAD support.
