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

Accurate selection of patients referred for LVADs is essential to prevent peri- and postoperative complicationsEchocardiography is the first line imaging modality for the evaluation of LVAD candidatesStudy of RV geometry and function is mandatory to detect subclinical RV dysfunction which could cause RV failure after-LVAD implantation, a frequent and potentially life-threatening complicationSevere valvular heart disease, ascendant aorta and possible intracardiac thrombi or shunts should be carefully evaluated, since these may represent some limit to LVAD implantation.
