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

Ventricular assist devices play a critical role in the management of end-stage heart failure, with a significant increase in their utilization in children over the past 20 years. While much attention has been given toward the success of ventricular assist devices in reversing the physiologic consequences of chronic heart failure, the ability of ventricular assist devices to facilitate rehabilitation should not be underestimated. For patients with chronic heart failure, rehabilitation can be understood to include exercise rehabilitation, nutritional rehabilitation, and psychosocial rehabilitation. In this review article, the effects of chronic heart failure on these 3 domains of rehabilitation are described, along with the impact of ventricular assist devices on these domains in children. Data demonstrating the effects of ventricular assist device therapy on rehabilitation are reviewed, and areas where opportunities for the improvement in care exist are identified as well.
