Optimizing Echocardiographic Assessment of Aortic Regurgitation: A Practical Protocol for Sonographers and Clinicians.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. 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
objectiveWe provide a practical, step-by-step guide for sonographers, trainees, and allied professionals to help with transthoracic echocardiographic evaluation of patients with aortic regurgitation (AR), emphasizing optimal imaging techniques and Doppler assessment. KEY STEPS: Multiple views are required in order to fully evaluate the degree of AR, including imaging in the parasternal long-axis, parasternal short-axis, and apical views, and in the suprasternal notch to evaluate the descending aortic flow for diastolic flow reversal. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: AR jet misalignment, eccentric regurgitation, poor acoustic windows, arrhythmias, and calcification can lead to underestimation of AR severity. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Comprehensive AR assessment requires integration of multiview imaging and Doppler data with left ventricular remodeling and function to accurately guide clinical decision-making.
