The Past, Present, and Promising Future of Direct Cardiac Compression Devices.
Review in JACC. Basic to translational science, 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
Direct cardiac compression (DCC) devices, under development as a new modality for mechanical cardiac support (MCS), offer several advantages over presently available forms of MCS. DCC devices avoid the blood contact obligatory with other implantable MCS devices, the complications associated with blood contact and hematologic incompatibility, such as thrombosis, stroke, and the need for anticoagulation are avoided, and DCC does not require vascular access eliminating challenges such as bleeding and extremity ischemia. Arterial pressure pulsatility is also maintained with DCC. Significant and underappreciated advancements in DCC technology have occurred over the last decades with notable dramatic improvements in cardiac performance and minimal tissue damage. One device has entered clinical trials with a second device anticipated to follow. DCC is poorly understood by most cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. This review summarizes DCC development and advances so that upcoming human clinical trials can be properly assessed.
