The impact of intraoperative pericardial three-dimensional echocardiography for the atrioventricular valve repair in pediatric patients of congenital heart disease.
Article in Journal of echocardiography, 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
purposeWe performed intraoperative pericardial three-dimensional echocardiography (IP3DE) for atrioventricular valve (AVV) repair in patients with congenital heart disease. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the surgical cases of AVV repair and assessed the impact of IP3DE.
methodsWe reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent AVV repair at Nagano Children's Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups, the IP3DE group and the control group, which underwent two-dimensional transesophageal or transthoracic echocardiography. Clinical data, including the grade of regurgitation and re-intervention, were compared between the two groups.
resultsForty-six patients in the IP3DE group and 35 in the control group were included. The preoperative median grade was 3 (maximum 2-minimum 4) and 3 (2-4) in the IP3DE and control groups, respectively. After surgery, median grade was decreased to 1 (1-4) and 2 (1-4) in the IP3DE and control groups, respectively. 80% and 54% of patients showed successful outcome (grade ≤ 2 after repair) in the IP3DE and control groups, respectively, which demonstrated that IP3DE contributed significantly to successful outcome (p < 0.05).
conclusionsThis study demonstrated, for the first time, the effectiveness of IP3DE in AVV repair in pediatric patients. IP3DE allows the visualization of clear 3D images and easy information sharing among cardiac vascular surgeons.
