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

Background: Renal function is a crucial factor affecting the prognosis of patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). The differential impacts of heart transplantation and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation on renal function are unclear. Therefore, we compared the perioperative renal function changes in patients who underwent heart transplantation with that of patients who underwent LVAD implantation. Methods: This study included 77 patients who underwent heart transplantation and 59 patients who underwent LVAD implantation at five hospitals between January 2019 and December 2023. These patients were divided into two groups based on surgery type: heart transplantation or LVAD implantation. The estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) before surgery and on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 7, and 30 were compared. A subgroup analysis was conducted for patients with preoperative renal dysfunction, and paired-samples Results: Patients in the LVAD group were older (56.4 Conclusions: For patients with end-stage HF and concurrent renal dysfunction, compared to heart transplantation, LVAD implantation with this new device resulted in significantly improved renal function. With no malfunctions, the device operated in a safe and effective manner and was successfully managed to improve renal function.
