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

The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) is intended to treat patients with end-stage heart failure. Owing to technological advances, these devices are becoming more durable. However, LVADs may need to be exchanged when complications arise and heart transplantation is not possible. Indications for LVAD exchange (LVADE) include device thrombosis, device infections, and pump component failure. LVADE has historically been associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. In this review, we discuss the indications of LVADE, the decisional and technical aspects during surgery, and outcomes.
