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.
PubMed lists nothing against this paper. Absence here is not a guarantee, only a check that was made.

Abstract
backgroundIn October 2022, our center implemented a standardized program to promote ventricular recovery in pediatric patients supported with durable ventricular assist devices. We report our experience and outcomes.
methodsThe initiative consists of 4 core components for all patients with ventricular assist devices: (1) cultural shift: routine assessment for ventricular recovery for possible device explant or, in complex congenital heart disease (CHD), for further surgical palliation; (2) reverse remodeling-use of goal-directed medical therapy as tolerated; (3) assessment of recovery: stepwise evaluation by echocardiography, exercise testing, and cardiac catheterization; and (4) multidisciplinary review of patients. This retrospective cohort study includes all patients who underwent durable ventricular assist device implantation between October 2022 and October 2024. Patient characteristics and outcomes are described for those explanted for recovery.
resultsThe cohort included 35 patients, 22 (63%) with Berlin Heart EXCOR and 13 (37%) with HeartMate 3. Indications included cardiomyopathy (60%, n=21), CHD (31%, n=11), coronary pathology (6%, n=2), and myocarditis (3%, n=1). Nine patients underwent explant (26% of all patients, 38% of patients without CHD). No patients with CHD met criteria for recovery. Median age of explanted patients was 1 year (interquartile range, 3 months-10 years), and all were discharged postexplant. Median follow-up was 10 months (interquartile range, 5.5-20 months). One patient was relisted for transplant; the others remained outpatient with, at worst, mild ventricular dysfunction.
conclusionsA standardized approach to ventricular recovery was associated with explant in 26% of patients, exclusively among those without CHD. Short-term postexplant outcomes are encouraging, supporting further study in larger cohorts.
