SCAI Position Statement on Intracardiac Echocardiography to Guide Structural Heart Disease Interventions.
Article in Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
As structural heart disease interventions rapidly evolve, demand for minimally invasive intraprocedural imaging techniques has increased. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has emerged as a valuable imaging modality, offering real-time, high-resolution visualization of cardiac structures without the need for general anesthesia. This position statement from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions outlines the clinical applications, advantages, limitations, and implementation strategies for ICE in guiding transcatheter structural heart disease procedures. The document details standardized ICE imaging protocols and views for interventions involving the mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves, as well as left atrial appendage occlusion atrial septal defect, and patent foramen ovale closure. It emphasizes the importance of operator training, physician workflows, and institutional readiness for successful ICE integration. The statement also advocates for updated reimbursement models that reflect the complexity and value of ICE-guided procedures and calls for further research comparing ICE and transesophageal echocardiography outcomes.
