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

Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a unique cardiomyopathy with a current yield of about 30-40 % in identifying a causative gene mutation. A retrospective review of all patients with LVNC at our institution was performed and genetic testing was reviewed. Echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was reviewed to corroborate the reported phenotype. We present a series of patients with LVNC dilated phenotype associated with fibrillin-1 gene mutations. Fifty-one patients were identified as having LVNC with reduced left ventricular function and/or left ventricular dilation. We retrospectively reviewed gene testing in this cohort when available and identified 5 patients (10 %) with an FBN1 gene mutation. Syndrome breakdown as follows: 3 with Marfan, 1 with Shprintzen-Goldberg, and 1 with no identifiable syndrome. Derangements in fibrillin-1 may impact the compaction process resulting in LVNC. Although causation has not been proven by our report, it certainly raises interest in a possible mechanistic relationship between fibrillin-1 and LVNC given the increased prevalence of Marfan syndrome and fibrillin-1 gene mutations in this cohort.
