Joint Arthroplasty in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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
Background: There have been limited case series describing joint arthroplasty (JA) in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). In the largest retrospective matched cohort study to date, we compared the postoperative complications of JA among patients with and without LVADs. Methods: A retrospective study from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2023, was conducted comparing patients undergoing JA with LVADs to controls without LVADs matched for gender, age, body mass index, history of myocardial infarction, arthroplasty type, year of surgery, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index in a 3:1 fashion. There were 13 JA procedures in the LVAD group and 39 in the control group. Postoperative complications of interest included emergency department visits within 90 days, any postoperative infection within 1 year, postoperative thrombosis within 1 year, need for transfusion within 1 year, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System physical function scores, as well as 2-year survival from revision and 2-year mortality. Results: LVAD patients had similar rates of 90-day emergency department visits (7.7% vs 23.1%; Conclusions: This is the largest series of patients undergoing JA after an LVAD procedure. JA patients with LVADs had similar 1-year postoperative complications to their matched counterparts.
