Co-designing emergency communication for patients with mechanical circulatory support devices.
Article in JHLT open, 2026. 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
The use of Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) devices is increasing globally, with patients often presenting to emergency departments (EDs) or encountering emergency medical services (EMS). Complex device protocols and limited non-specialist training can lead to treatment delays. This study describes a multi-stage, co-design process undertaken to develop an emergency communication poster for patients with a HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device. The poster is intended to support rapid assessment and initial device management by non-specialist clinicians. The design process involved clinical observations, research, concept development, global evaluation, and iterative refinement. Eighteen international MCS practitioners contributed feedback on the prototype, informing refinements to information hierarchy, visual structure, and clinical clarity. The final outcomes include a rapid-reference poster and a set of MCS emergency communication design principles. Together, these outputs demonstrate how an iterative, context-sensitive design approach can enhance clinical communication and support shared understanding in time-critical MCS care across diverse healthcare settings.
