Current state and future directions of nursing and allied health research in implantable left ventricular assist 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
Background: No information describing the synthesis of studies surrounding "non-medical" management of LVAD patients and caregivers, mostly done by nurses or allied health professionals. This article provides an overview of the current state of published research in nursing and allied health disciplines, as well as its future directions. Methods: A state-of-the-art literature review, drawing on the author's reflexivity and research expertise with LVAD patients, caregivers, and nurses, was employed. Results: Themes emerged from the review of "non-medical" studies were clustered around the nursing metaparadigm's four core concepts: Conclusion: Despite the inherent limitations of this review, the current state of the science produced by nurses and allied health professionals is in its formative stage. Both professional groups are well-positioned to advance science by understanding the mechanisms through which patient, caregiver, and provider (i.e., nurses and allied health professionals) "factors" affect LVAD treatment outcomes beyond engineering and medical models. Finally, the article serves as a platform for reflective practice and a catalyst for collaboration to produce LVAD research that is responsive to the roles and scopes of practice of nursing and allied health professionals in long-term LVAD care.
