Age Is a Predictor of In-Hospital Outcomes for Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: A Nationwide Analysis.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2024. 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
The 2018 heart allocation system has significantly influenced heart transplantation and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) utilization. Our study aims to investigate age-related outcomes following LVAD implantation in the post-allocation era. Using the National Inpatient Sample, we analyzed data from 7375 patients who underwent LVAD implantation between 2019 and 2020. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality following LVAD implantation, stratified by age categories. The age groups were 18-49, 50-59, 60-69, and over 70. These represented 26%, 26%, 31%, and 17% of patients, respectively. Patients aged 60-69 and those over 70 exhibited higher in-hospital mortality rates of 12% and 17%, respectively, compared to younger age groups (7% for 18-49 and 6% for 50-59). The age groups 60-69 and over 70 were independent predictors of mortality, with adjusted odds ratios of 1.99 (
