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

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease of the sarcomeric contractile proteins that is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy and myocyte disarray. The majority of patients are limited in terms of functional capacity and a minority die suddenly. The main aims of management are symptom alleviation and prevention of sudden cardiac death. In patients with HCM, cardiopulmonary exercise testing provides a more accurate index of functional capacity than New York Heart Association classification status and is useful in assessing symptoms following various therapeutic interventions. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing plays an important role in differentiating HCM from other conditions associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is also valuable in identifying individuals at high risk of sudden cardiac death and is an integral part of the algorithm in risk stratification and delivery of prophylactic therapy. Over the past few years, cardiopulmonary exercise testing has provided insight into the determinants and mechanisms of exercise limitation. This understanding helps in targeting therapy and the development of new treatment modalities.
