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

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has emerged as the pivotal imaging modality in transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), bridging the gap between anatomical complexity and procedural precision. Unlike any other tool, TEE accompanies the patient journey across all stages of TMVR, from patient assessment and device selection to intraprocedural guidance and post-implant surveillance, providing real-time insights into valve anatomy, hemodynamics, and complications. This review consolidates the most recent consensus statements, quantitative thresholds, and device-specific considerations, while also highlighting evolving technologies. By outlining best practices for integrating TEE within multimodality workflows and the Heart Team paradigm, this article offers clinicians a comprehensive and practice-oriented roadmap for optimizing TMVR outcomes.
