How to Use Virtual Reality from Echocardiographic-Acquired Images.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 reviewOur goal of this review is to describe the current evidence and future applications of virtual reality (VR) from echocardiographic acquired images to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve the visualization of cardiac structures by providing immersive 3-dimensional (3D) environments for better interpretation, communication between healthcare providers, families and trainees. RECENT
findingsVirtual reality is a powerful tool for education, procedural planning and simulation. Using readily available echocardiographic images for this purpose is feasible, effective and safe. This document highlights the increasing role of VR in procedural planning, education, and intraprocedural guidance using three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE). Key advancements include the development of smaller 3D transthoracic and pediatric transesophageal probes with better temporal resolution, which enable enhanced imaging for preoperative planning. VR allows surgeons to visualize dynamic 3D cardiac models created from echocardiographic or Computed Tomography (CT) data, enabling better pre-surgical rehearsal, device selection, and landing zone visualization. It also provides immersive training tools for echocardiographers and offers potential for intraprocedural guidance in interventions such as atrial septal defect closures. These developments underscore the growing synergy between VR and 3DE for refining diagnosis and procedural strategies.
