Contrast-enhanced ultrasound in pediatric echocardiography.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The safety and benefits of cardiac contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) have been demonstrated in children and adolescents for a variety of clinical indications, including congenital heart disease. Cardiac CEUS is performed with US and the intravenous administration of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs). It improves transthoracic echocardiography, which can be challenging in children and adults with acoustic window limitations (e.g., from obesity) and alterations in chest wall and cardiac geometry (e.g., from prior surgical procedures). Cardiac CEUS is also used to evaluate ischemia in the follow-up of congenital and acquired heart disease. In 2019, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a UCA for pediatric echocardiography. This article focuses on the clinical applications of UCAs in pediatric and adult echocardiography, outlining its diagnostic value, safety and potential for future applications.
