Myocardial recovery following left ventricular assist device implantation.
Review in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Durable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have consistently shown improved mortality and morbidity in patients with end-stage heart failure. Select patients with LVADs may experience significant enough myocardial recovery after device implantation to allow for explantation or decommissioning. While earlier trials suggested a high incidence of recovery, real-world clinical data have demonstrated this to be a much rarer phenomenon. Whether or not patients experience recovery, practices such as speed optimization and usage of guideline-directed medical therapy can improve patient outcomes.
