A case report and analysis of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy causing an illusion of aortic stenosis.
Article in Medicine, 2018. 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
rationaleThis study aimed to report a case of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy causing an illusion of aortic stenosis on imaging. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 71-year-old woman presented with chest tightness after activity for 1 year and coughing for 2 months. A systolic 3/6 grade murmur was found in the third intercostals of the left border of sternum. Transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were all suggestive of aortic stenosis and left ventricular outflow tract stenosis. DIAGNOSIS: The patient was diagnosed with "severe aortic stenosis (bicuspid deformity), left ventricular outflow tract stenosis (moderate), and grade II cardiac function." She was advised aortic valve replacement and left ventricular outflow tract dredging. However, no aortic valve lesion was found during the operation, and the diagnosis was changed to "hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy." INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: The morrow procedure was performed, and the patient recovered well after the operation. Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy was found to cause an illusion of aortic stenosis on imaging. LESSONS: Special attention and rational treatment should be paid to such patients. In addition, further studies are needed to distinguish between the two diseases to reduce misdiagnosis.
