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
Background: Early acute right heart failure (eaRHF) during left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation significantly impacts patient survival and complicates perioperative management. Although numerous clinical, echocardiographic, and hemodynamic risk factors have been identified, accurately predicting eaRHF remains challenging. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a precise, non-invasive evaluation of cardiac structure and function and may enhance risk stratification eaRHF. This study aims to assess the predictive value of preoperative CMR-derived parameters, comparing their utility to established echocardiographic and right heart catheterization (RHC) markers for identifying eaRHF. Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted on 55 patients who received CMR before LVAD implantation at our center between 2018 and 2024. Of these 55 patients, 40 had image quality sufficient for offline analysis. Patients receiving a temporary right ventricular assist device (tRVAD) intraoperatively were defined as having eaRHF. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the predictive capability of CMR, echocardiographic, and RHC parameters. Results: Ten patients (25%) developed eaRHF. Preoperative bilirubin levels were significantly higher in the eaRHF group (1.6 mg/dl vs. 1.1 mg/dl, Conclusion: Hemodynamic parameters from RHC demonstrated the strongest predictive capability for eaRHF. However, selected CMR-derived parameters, especially indexed RV-EDV and RV GRS, offer moderate predictive value and may serve as adjunctive tools in preoperative risk stratification for LVAD candidates.
