Comparative Value of Cardiac CT and Transesophageal Echocardiography in Infective Endocarditis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Radiology. Cardiothoracic imaging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
purposeTo assess the comparative diagnostic accuracy of cardiac CT and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the detection of valvular and perivalvular complications in infective endocarditis. MATERIALS AND
methodsPubMed and Embase databases were systematically searched until July 2019 for original articles published in English. Studies were included if
resultsEight studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The sensitivity was higher for CT than TEE for abscess or pseudoaneurysm detection, 78% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 70%, 85%) (112 of 142) versus 69% (95% CI: 62%, 76%) (94 of 135) (
conclusionCT performs better than TEE in the detection of abscess or pseudoaneurysm whereas TEE gives superior results for vegetation detection, leaflet perforation, and paravalvular leakage.
