The Emerging Role of Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) in Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC).
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purpose of reviewIntracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has emerged as a powerful imaging tool to guide percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). Herein, we review an imaging protocol for ICE-guided LAAC and discuss the evidence for its use. RECENT
findingsStandardized imaging protocols have been proposed but have not been fully validated. ICE imaging yields similar procedural and clinical outcomes when compared to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to guide LAAC. Despite benefits of avoiding general anesthesia, TEE, and multiple physicians for LAAC procedures, ICE imaging remains under-utilized. Novel ICE catheters with 3D imaging capabilities may improve accuracy and efficiency of LAAC device implantation. ICE guidance is feasible, safe, and effective for LAAC. As the field evolves, further studies will be necessary to assess this technological advancement in imaging guidance.
