Contrast-enhanced transcranial doppler versus contrast transthoracic echocardiography for right-to-left shunt diagnosis.
Article in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 2023. 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
RLS can be diagnosed using US, CT angiography, and right heart catheterization. However, most reliable diagnostic modality remains undetermined. c-TCD was more sensitive than c-TTE in the diagnosis of RLS. This was true especially for the detection of provoked shunts or mild shunts. c-TCD can be used as the preferred screening method for RLS.
