Echocardiography in the Liver Transplant Patient.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purpose of reviewThe aim of this study is to review current echocardiographic modalities utilized in the assessment of the preoperative liver transplant candidate with an emphasis on newer techniques. We sought to assess if newer methods imparted additional diagnostic or prognostic accuracy compared to prior methods based on existing studies. RECENT
findingsStandard dobutamine stress echocardiography offers important information regarding operative risk and post-operative survival in liver transplant candidates; however, technologies such as speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) and evaluation of diastolic function have emerged as useful tools as well. 2D-STE and diastolic echocardiography offer additional parameters such as global longitudinal strain and measures of diastolic dysfunction that can better predict peri-operative and post-operative complications in liver transplant candidates. If able, practitioners should utilize these methods routinely in their assessment of liver transplant candidates.
