Role of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Guiding and Evaluating Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Patients With Non-Organic Heart Disease.

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
objectiveTo assess the guiding role of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) intraoperatively and its evaluative function postoperatively during left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in patients with non-organic heart disease (NOHD).
methodsIn this retrospective observational study, a total of 48 patients with NOHD who underwent LAAO in the Department of Cardiology at The First People's Hospital of Lanzhou City from April 2020 to September 2022 were recruited. TEE findings during and after the procedure, cardiac chamber size, and cardiac function parameters at different surgical stages, postoperative occlusion efficacy, and complications were recorded. The application value of TEE in LAAO for patients with NOHD was evaluated.
resultsComparative analysis TEE-measured the maximum diameter of the LAAO (22.37 ± 3.86 mm) was significantly smaller than X-ray angiographic measurement (23.45 ± 4.22 mm; p < 0.05). One month after radiofrequency ablation, TTE revealed a statistically significant reduction in left atrial diameter (p < 0.05). Four cases (8%) exhibited minor peri-device leak (< 3 mm), and no major complications occurred.
conclusionTEE shows significant application value for monitoring anatomical changes, guiding device sizing, and detecting peri-device leaks during and after LAAO for patients with NOHD.
