Hypothyroidism Is Associated With Longer Hospital Stay Following Implantation Of Left Ventricular Assist Device.

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
backgroundThere has been a steady and consistent rise in the use of left ventricular assist devices in the management of patients with advanced heart failure. Hypothyroidism also remains one of the most common endocrine conditions with a significant impact on the development and overall outcomes of heart failure. The authors analyzed the National Inpatient Sample to evaluate the effect of hypothyroidism on the in-hospital outcomes of patients with end-stage heart failure following the placement of left ventricular assist device.
methodsThe national inpatient sample was queried to identify all adult patients who had LVAD placement from 2004 to 2014. They were subsequently divided into those with hypothyroidism and those without hypothyroidism. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Other outcomes were acute kidney injury, length, and cost of hospitalization. Logistic regression models were created to determine the outcomes of interest.
resultsOf 2643 patients in the study, 5.4% had hypothyroidism, and 94.6% did not. The hypothyroid patients were significantly older compared to the non-hypothyroid patients (mean age 58.6 years vs 49.95 years,
conclusionThis study found that LVAD is associated with longer hospital stay in hypothyroid patients with heart failure.
