Preoperative cardiac evaluation with transthoracic echocardiography before non-cardiac surgery.
Review in Korean journal of anesthesiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Transthoracic echocardiography has become increasingly popular in clinical practice. It is used for the functional evaluation of patients with various cardiovascular diseases. Its use has been extended further in routine screening for cardiovascular health and in preoperative risk assessment before non-cardiac surgery because it is non-invasive, easy to perform, reproducible, and cost-effective. When the results of preoperative echocardiography contain abnormalities, the findings must be interpreted to determine clinical relevance. However, when the results of preoperative echocardiography are apparently normal, many physicians and surgeons readily think that the patient will not have any cardiovascular events in the future, or at least in the perioperative period. In this review, we will cover 1) current guidelines for preoperative echocardiographic assessment, 2) specific cardiac conditions for which the non-cardiac surgery should be delayed, 3) commonly encountered echocardiographic findings before non-cardiac surgeries, 4) application of stress echocardiography, and 5) clinical perspectives of focused transthoracic echocardiography before non-cardiac surgery.
