Progress of extracorporeal centrifugal pumps for mechanical circulatory supports.
Review in Journal of artificial organs : the official journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This review traces the evolution of centrifugal blood pumps in mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems. Initially met with concerns over blood damage and thrombus formation, centrifugal pumps have become crucial components in ventricular assist devices (VADs) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to their simplified drive mechanisms and adaptability. This paper outlines three generations of centrifugal pump development: first-generation pumps with sealing components, second-generation pumps utilizing pivot bearings, and third-generation pumps employing contactless bearings. Each iteration addressed previous limitations, particularly regarding thrombus formation and durability. Current regulatory challenges surrounding the duration of pump use in MCS are examined, highlighting the discrepancy between approved usage times and clinical needs. This paper notes ongoing efforts to extend approved use periods, citing examples of pumps cleared for extended use in various jurisdictions. This historical perspective provides insights into the technological advancements that have enhanced the safety, efficacy, and durability of centrifugal blood pumps in MCS applications.
