Diagnostic value of real-time four-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography on the implant-related thrombus.

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
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of real-time four-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT4D-TEE) for implant-related thrombus (IRT). Methods: We collected 1,125 patients with atrial fibrillation from May 2019 to February 2022 in our hospital. All patients accepted transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examination to exclude any thrombi before the LAAC procedure. Results: There were 760 patients with LAAC, 66 patients with CIED, and 299 patients without any implantations. A total of 40 patients with an established diagnosis of IRT were further analyzed. The accurate detection rate of IRT by RT4D-TEE was 4.8% (40/826), which was higher than 3.8% (31/826) by 2D-TEE ( Conclusion: The accurate detection rate of IRT by RT4D-TEE was significantly higher than that by 2D-TEE. 2D-TEE has limitations, but RT4D-TEE can be used as an effective complementary method. Imaging and some clinical features differ significantly between IRT on occluder and IRT on CIED lead.
