Association of timing of percutaneous left ventricular assist device insertion with outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the associations between percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) insertion timing relative to cardiac surgery and patient outcomes. Methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried for patients undergoing cardiac surgery and pVAD insertion in the same admission from 2016 to 2019. Patients were stratified by timing of pVAD insertion. Preoperative characteristics, postoperative complications, and mortality were compared among groups. Results: Overall, 3695 patients underwent cardiac surgery and pVAD insertion during the same hospitalization (pre: 1130, intra: 1690, and post: 875). The distribution of cardiac surgery procedures was similar across groups. Median Elixhauser Comorbidity Index was 13 for pre-, 15 for intra-, and 17 for postoperative pVAD patients ( Conclusions: Postoperative pVAD insertion following cardiac surgery was associated with increased complications and mortality compared with preoperative or intraoperative insertion. Further studies should explore optimal utilization and timing of pVAD insertion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
