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

purposeDual-chamber (DDD) pacing has been used for treatment of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Due to inconclusive results in prior trials, current guidelines assign DDD pacing a class IIb indication in selected patients. Prior observations indicate that lack of clinical improvement may result from suboptimal effect of DDD pacing with non-physiological AV intervals due to fusion of intrinsic and paced QRS complex.

methodsThe Triple Chamber Pacing in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy Patients (TRICHAMPION) trial is a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, multicenter study to investigate the benefit of atrial synchronous biventricular pacing (CRT-P) in highly symptomatic HOCM patients with severe left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who are not candidates for ablative therapies. AV node ablation is used as key tool to optimize AV intervals in patients with QRS fusion. The primary endpoint is the percentage of patients with symptomatic improvement at 12 months, defined as improvement of New York Heart Association functional class, in the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire score and increased cardiopulmonary exercise endurance.

conclusionsThe aim of the TRICHAMPION trial is to investigate the benefit of optimized atrial synchronous biventricular pacing in absence of QRS fusion in highly symptomatic HOCM patients with severe LVOT obstruction who are not candidates for ablative therapies.
