Early stroke after left ventricular assist device implantation: role of right heart failure.

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
Background: Both stroke and right heart failure (RHF) are common and serious complications after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. The objective of this study was to evaluate relation between stroke and RHF early after LVAD implantation. Methods: This is a retrospective observational cohort study. From January 2012 to December 2020, patients who underwent LVAD implantation in a single-center were enrolled. Patients with a non-dischargeable LVAD or without follow-up data were excluded. Early stroke was defined as a stroke event within 6 months after implantation. Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS) definition was used for the diagnosis of RHF. Results: A total of 70 patients underwent LVAD implantation. Sixty-seven patients (95.7%) were successfully discharged and 16 patients (22.9%) died during follow-up. 14 patients (20.0%) experienced a stroke within 6 months after implantation, and 0.28 stroke events per patient-year occurred during follow-up. Postoperative RHF was more common in the stroke group (64.3% Conclusions: RHF after LVAD implantation may be a risk factor for early stroke. Prevention and management of postoperative RHF with adequate CPP could prevent early stroke after LVAD implantation.
