Case Report: A novel method of needle-free transseptal puncture.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: In the era of fluoroless catheter ablation (CA), achieving a successful transseptal puncture (TSP) presents a significant challenge. We introduce a novel technique for zero-fluoroscopy and cost-effective needle-free TSP. Case summary: We describe two cases where a GMS-1 guidewire (0.025 inch, pigtail configuration; Toray Medical Co., Ltd., Japan) was utilized for TSP. This technique was performed using either fluoroscopy or intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). The procedure was completed successfully in both cases, with no complications reported. Conclusion: The use of a 0.025 inch GMS-1 guidewire with an electrocautery technique enables effective transseptal puncture without the need for a needle or fluoroscopy. This novel approach offers a safe, efficient, and zero-fluoroscopic alternative for TSP.
