1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewHeart failure in patients with congenital heart disease and particularly single ventricle physiology at all stages of palliation presents significant management challenges. Ventricular assist device (VAD) use in this population is increasing. This review summarizes the recent outcomes, physiologic considerations, and challenges of VAD therapy at each stage of single ventricle palliation. RECENT

findingsSurvival after VAD implantation has been worse for patients with single ventricle physiology compared with biventricular physiology, though recent data suggest this disparity is narrowing. A variety of continuous and pulsatile flow devices are available for use, though many are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the pediatric population. Adverse effects are common with VADs at each stage of single ventricle palliation, regardless of device choice. VAD therapy in patients with single ventricle heart disease requires an understanding of the complex cardiac physiology and device mechanics in order to optimize outcomes.
