Role of Echocardiography in the Diagnosis and Interventional Management of Atrial Septal Defects.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
This review centers on the usefulness of echo-Doppler studies in the diagnosis of ostium secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs) and in their management, both in children and adults. Transthoracic echocardiography can easily identify the secundum ASDs and also differentiate secundum ASDs from other kinds of ASDs, such as ostium primum ASD, sinus venosus ASD and coronary sinus ASD, as well as patent foramen ovale. Preliminary selection of patients for device occlusion can be made by transthoracic echocardiograms while final selection is based on transesophageal (TEE) or intracardiac (ICE) echocardiographic studies with optional balloon sizing of ASDs. TEE and ICE are extremely valuable in guiding device implantation and in evaluating the position of the device following its implantation. Echo-Doppler evaluation during follow-up is also useful in documenting improvements in ventricular size and function, in assessing the device position, in detecting residual shunts, and in identifying rare device-related complications. Examples of echo images under each section are presented. The reasons why echo-Doppler is very valuable in diagnosing and managing ASDs are extensively discussed.
