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

Implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) is increasingly utilized, prolonging survival of patients with advanced heart failure. We herein report a severe complication of gastric perforation with an intragastric transposition of an LVAD driveline (DL). The patient was admitted to interdisciplinary surgery, where the DL was successfully removed from the stomach and the gastric perforation addressed by performing an atypical gastric resection. This is the first reported case of an intragastric transposition of DL and LVAD pump of a HeartMate II LVAD. This case underscores the importance of interdisciplinary efforts in the treatment of LVAD associated complications as well as regular gastrointestinal monitoring in LVAD patients.
