Thrombosis occurring during transseptal puncture with electrocautery: A case report.
Article in Heart rhythm O2, 2026. 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
Electrocautery-assisted transseptal puncture offers clinical advantages but is associated with potential complications. Herein, we describe a case encountered during radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation, in which intracardiac echocardiography detected a thrombus that formed after electrocautery and guidewire traversal of the interatrial septum. The thrombus appeared as a hyperechoic, cord-like structure adherent to the right atrial side of the interatrial septum. Prompt heparin administration led to thrombus resolution without embolization, enabling the procedure to continue safely. This case underscores the thrombotic risk of electrocautery transseptal puncture and highlights the need for further research on optimal anticoagulation strategies.
