Management of Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients on Left Ventricular Assist Device Support.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly utilized for patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is highly prevalent in this patient population mainly due to prolonged left ventricular (LV) failure and chronically elevated filling pressures. The effect of LVADs on pulmonary circulation and right ventricular (RV) function has recently become an area of great attention in literature. PH can lead to post-LVAD right ventricular failure (RVF) that confers a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Multiple pulmonary vasodilators, that are primarily used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), have been studied for the treatment of PH after LVAD implantation, and some of them have shown promising results. This review aims to investigate the treatment options for PH in patients on LVADs, as well as to give an overview about the pathophysiology of PH and RVF in these patients.
