1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo describe the advantages of an echocardiographer-led workflow combining transjugular intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance for tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. KEY STEPS: Ultrasound-guided right internal jugular access was obtained for sterile ICE catheter insertion. Intraprocedural imaging was directed entirely by the echocardiographer from the head of the bed, with side-by-side transjugular ICE and TEE probe control within a single ergonomic workspace. This configuration optimizes ergonomics and streamlines workflow while allowing the interventionalist to focus solely on device implantation. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: Careful attention is required to minimize transjugular access-site hematoma and infection. Safe transjugular ICE manipulation requires continuous fluoroscopic and TEE guidance. Effective workflow integration requires advanced intraprocedural imaging expertise. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Transjugular ICE complements TEE to enhance imaging synergy, improve ergonomics, and streamline workflow during tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, with potential to improve efficiency and procedural success.
