Optimizing Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: Limitations of TEE and the Emerging Role of Multimodality Imaging.
Article in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This letter critically appraises the recent study by Long et al. investigating the role of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in guiding and evaluating left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) among patients with non-organic heart disease. While the authors demonstrate the procedural utility of TEE, its limitations, including invasiveness, patient tolerance, and lack of long-term data, remain notable. Current literature highlights the growing role of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and computed tomography (CT) as alternative or complementary modalities. Larger multicenter studies integrating these approaches are warranted to optimize procedural outcomes and patient safety in atrial fibrillation-related stroke prevention.
