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

Fluoroscopy-free ablation techniques have gained popularity in recent years. However, coronary sinus (CS) cannulation via the femoral approach remains technically challenging, particularly when using specialized catheters like the BeeAT™. To demonstrate a reproducible technique for fluoroscopy-free CS cannulation using the BeeAT catheter guided by CARTO® electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). Forty three patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation were enrolled. After 3D mapping of the right atrium and CS ostium identification via ICE, a femoral-type BeeAT catheter was inserted. Direct advancement or RA loop techniques were applied based on anatomy. CARTO settings were adjusted to allow impedance-based catheter visualization. Successful CS cannulation without fluoroscopy was achieved in all 43 cases. The direct technique succeeded in 36 cases, and the RA loop method was used in 7. No complications occurred.

conclusionFluoroscopy-free femoral CS cannulation with the BeeAT catheter is safe, feasible, and enhances procedural efficiency while avoiding radiation exposure.
