Aortic Atherosclerosis Detection on Transesophageal Echocardiography is Associated with Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus in Low Thromboembolic Risk Patients.
Article in Arrhythmia & electrophysiology review, 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
Background: Elevated CHA Aims: Determine the prevalence of LAAT in patients with low thromboembolic risk and the correlation of AA with LAAT. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all TOEs performed for patients who underwent electrophysiology procedures at the McGill University Health Centre from 2012 to 2017 and collected pertinent clinical and echocardiography variables. We reviewed all TOEs to evaluate the presence and severity of AA using the Katz score, American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) grade and the Ferrari score. In patients with a CHADS Results: 592 patients underwent a pre-procedure TOE and were included in the analysis. Among 249 patients with CHA Conclusion: AA visualised on TOE was significantly associated with an increased risk of LAAT development in patients with low CHA
