Novel transseptal guidewire facilitates successful puncture in repaired atrial septum: a case report.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionPost-repair atrial septal anatomical variations may increase transseptal puncture difficulty. While the novel AccuSafe guidewire shows promise as a procedural tool, its utility in such complex cases requires further evidence-based validation. METHODS AND
resultsWe report a case of a 73-year-old female who developed atrial fibrillation (AF) following surgical repair of an atrial septal defect (ASD). An initial ablation attempt at another institution had failed. The patient presented with recurrent palpitations, concurrent heart failure, and anxiety. At our center, the AccuSafe transseptal puncture guidewire was successfully used to traverse the interatrial septum, enabling the completion of radiofrequency ablation for AF.
conclusionThe AccuSafe puncture guidewire was successfully applied and showed potential value in this individual case of post-operative ASD repair.
