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 disease of mutant sarcomeric proteins (except for phenocopy). Cardiac hypertrophy is the clinical diagnostic hallmark of HCM and a major determinant of morbidity and mortality in various cardiovascular diseases. However, there is remarkable variability in expression of hypertrophy, even among HCM patients with identical causal mutations. We hypothesized modifier genes are partly responsible for the variation in hypertrophic expressivity. To map the modifier loci, we typed 811 short-tandem repeat markers ( approximately 5 cMdense) in 100 members of an HCM family including 36 with the InsG791 mutation in MYBPC3. We performed oligogenic simultaneous segregation and linkage analyses using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and detected linkage on 3q26.2 (180 cM), 10p13 (41 cM), 17q24 (108 cM) with log of the posterior placement probability ratio (LOP) of 3.51, 4.86 and 4.17, respectively, and suggestive linkage (LOP of 2.40) on 16q12.2 (73 cM). The effect sizes varied according to the modifier locus, age and sex. It ranged from approximately 8 g shift in left ventricular mass for 10p13 locus heterozygosity for the common allele to approximately 90 g shift for 3q26.2 locus homozygosity for the uncommon allele. Refining the 10p13 locus restricted the candidate modifier genes to ITGA8, C10orf97 (CARP) and PTER. ITGA8 and CARP are biologically plausible candidates as they are implicated in cardiac fibrosis and apoptosis, respectively. Since cardiac hypertrophy is a major determinant of total and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, regardless of the etiology, identification of the specific modifier genes could have significant prognostic and therapeutic implications for various cardiovascular diseases.
