1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The American Society of Echocardiography recommendations published in 2024 for evaluating prosthetic heart valve (PHV) function with cardiovascular imaging include new recommendations for the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac computed tomography, and cardiac positron emission tomography. Additionally, they now provide normative echocardiographic values for right-sided PHVs and transcatheter heart valves in native valves and when used for valve-in-valve procedures. Furthermore, the recommendations include definitions to improve the recognition and classification of prosthetic heart valve dysfunction. The aim of this review is to summarize these key changes compared to the 2009 update and to include useful tables and figures to aid the reader in assessment of PHV function.
