Transseptal Puncture for Left Atrial Appendage Closure: A Consensus Document From the Second European Left Atrial Appendage Club.
Review in Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, 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
Transseptal puncture (TSP) is a critical step in left atrial appendage closure. This consensus document reviews the evolution of TSP techniques and instrumentation, comparing conventional mechanical methods with radiofrequency-assisted approaches. It highlights the importance of imaging-based preplanning with transoesophageal echocardiography and multislice computed tomography to optimize TSP positioning and procedural outcomes. The inferoposterior fossa ovalis position is generally preferred to achieve coaxial device alignment and enhance safety and efficacy, whereas alternative TSP positions may suit better specific complex anatomies. Procedural guidance under transoesophageal echocardiography and intracardiac echocardiography-guidedosto TSP is illustrated, and a stepwise strategy for challenging cases is outlined. We propose an algorithm for TSP preplanning and intraprocedural guidance, along with expert consensus recommendations developed during the second European Left Atrial Appendage Club meeting.
