Numerical Analyses of Blood Pumps Under Realistic Operating Conditions.
Article in ASAIO journal (American Society for Artificial Internal Organs : 1992), 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
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) assessments in blood pumps (BPs) typically rely on constant boundary conditions, despite the dynamic nature of the cardiovascular system. Consensus on CFD methodologies for simulating BPs under realistic conditions is lacking, and qualitative validation against in vitro data, particularly regarding the dynamic pressure head-flow rate (HQ) hysteresis curve, remains absent. This study aims to validate a CFD framework capable of capturing HQ hysteresis. Time-varying boundary conditions were derived from a hybrid in vitro mock circulation. Computational fluid dynamics parameters, including boundary conditions (pressure versus mass flow), time step size (4°-72° per step), rotation modeling (frozen rotor versus sliding mesh), and turbulence modeling (none versus k - ω SST), were iteratively refined. Results were validated by assessing the overlap of simulated and measured HQ hysteresis using the Jaccard Index (JI). Dynamic HQ hysteresis was captured only with mass flow boundary conditions, not with pressure boundary conditions (JI = 0.62 vs. 0.37). Time step size, rotation modeling (except for frozen rotor without averaging), and turbulence modeling had minimal effect on HQ hysteresis but significantly influenced flow field resolution and computational efficiency. Critical parameters emerged in boundary conditions and motion modeling, whereas others involved trade-offs between flow field accuracy and computational cost.
