Article in The Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.

backgroundPrevious retrospective studies suggest a good diagnostic performance of
methodsA total of 40 patients (aged 58 [53-62] years) with suspected LVAD infection and 5 controls (aged 69 [64-71] years) underwent
resultsVisual uptake was present in 40 patients (100%) in the infection group vs 4 (80%) control subjects. For each individual component, the presence of uptake was more frequent in the infection than in the control group. The location of maximal uptake was most frequently the pump pocket (48%) in the infection group and the peripheral components (75%) in the control group. Maximum standard uptake values (SUV
