Mini 3D transesophageal probe: technical advances and clinical applications.
Review in Cardiovascular ultrasound, 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
With the growing complexity of structural heart disease procedures, the need for advanced intraprocedural imaging has become increasingly critical. Transesophageal echocardiography remains the gold standard for procedural guidance but is associated with risks such as upper gastrointestinal tract injury and the need for general anesthesia for patient comfort and safety. Miniaturized three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (miniTEE) probes offer a promising solution by providing high-resolution imaging which could be performed under conscious sedation. Studies evaluating the miniTEE probe for safety, image quality, and ability to guide specific structural and non-structural heart disease procedures will be reviewed. The limitations and future developments will be discussed.
