A practical guideline for performing a comprehensive transthoracic echocardiogram in the congenital heart disease patient: consensus recommendations from the British Society of Echocardiography.
Review in Echo research and practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 is an essential tool in the diagnosis, assessment, and management of paediatric and adult populations with suspected or confirmed congenital heart disease. Congenital echocardiography is highly operator-dependent, requiring advanced technical acquisition and interpretative skill levels. This document is designed to complement previous congenital echocardiography literature by providing detailed practical echocardiography imaging guidance on sequential segmental analysis, and is intended for implementation predominantly, but not exclusively, within adult congenital heart disease settings. It encompasses the recommended dataset to be performed and is structured in the preferred order for a complete anatomical and functional sequential segmental congenital echocardiogram. It is recommended that this level of study be performed at least once on all patients being assessed by a specialist congenital cardiology service. This document will be supplemented by a series of practical pathology specific congenital echocardiography guidelines. Collectively, these will provide structure and standardisation to image acquisition and reporting, to ensure that all important information is collected and interpreted appropriately.
