Advanced Heart Failure Secondary to Chagas Cardiomyopathy: A Case of Successful Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chagas cardiomyopathy is a rare but critical cause of nonischemic heart failure, particularly in patients from endemic regions. We present a 48-year-old Spanish-speaking male from Guatemala with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, 10%) due to Chagas disease. Despite guideline-directed medical therapy and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement, he developed cardiogenic shock. Right heart catheterization confirmed severely reduced cardiac output and elevated wedge pressure. He was ineligible for heart transplantation due to limited life expectancy but had no contraindications to left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement. Following infectious disease clearance and prophylaxis for
