Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiographic Guidance in Cardiac Surgery.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a valuable tool for diagnosing structural heart diseases, offering superior resolution compared to transthoracic echocardiography. It allows for real-time evaluation of cardiac valves and both systolic and diastolic heart function. Additionally, TEE facilitates the prompt detection of potential complications during cardiac surgeries, such as paravalvular leaks, iatrogenic aortic dissections, and pericardial effusions. Advances in imaging, including 3D echocardiography, have further enhanced the visualization of complex structures like cardiac valves, providing "surgical views" that improve preoperative planning. These features have also made TEE indispensable for postoperative evaluation of cardiac valve repairs and for intraoperative guidance during minimally invasive procedures. This review article aims to summarize the indications for using TEE as an intraoperative tool in cardiac surgery.
