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 shortcomings of expense, power requirements, infection, durability, size, and blood trauma of current durable LVADs have been recognized for many years. The LVADs of tomorrow aspire to be fully implantable, durable, mitigate infectious risk, mimic the pulsatile nature of the native cardiac cycle, as well as minimize bleeding and thrombosis. Power draw, battery cycle lifespan and trans-cutaneous energy transmission remain barriers to completely implantable systems. Potential solutions include decreases in pump electrical draw, improving battery lifecycle technology and better trans-cutaneous energy transmission, potentially from Free-range Resonant Electrical Energy Delivery. In this review, we briefly discuss the history of LVADs and summarize the LVAD devices in the development pipeline seeking to address these issues.
