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

Approximately one-third of patients with end-stage heart failure (ESHF) experience biventricular failure. Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are employed as a salvage therapy for individuals with advanced heart failure. The onset of right ventricular failure complicates the postoperative management of patients receiving LVAD support. Currently, no right ventricular assist device is specifically designed for isolated right heart failure support, necessitating cardiac surgeons worldwide to adopt various improvised methods using LVADs for right ventricular assistance. This report details the first case at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital in which a Corheart 6 magnetically levitated LVAD was successfully employed for biventricular assistance in a patient with ESHF secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy.
