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

aimsPrevious studies have shown that hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutation carriers have a decreased myocardial energy efficiency, which is thought to play a key role in the pathomechanism of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The ENERGY trial aims to determine whether metabolic drugs correct decreased myocardial energy efficiency in HCM mutation carriers at an early disease stage.

methods40 genotype-positive, phenotype-negative MYH7 mutation carriers will be treated for two months with trimetazidine or placebo in a double-blind randomised study design. Directly before and after treatment, study subjects will undergo an [

conclusionThe ENERGY trial will be the first proof of concept study to determine whether metabolic drugs are a potential preventive therapy for HCM. Given that trimetazidine is already being used in clinical practice, there is large potential to swiftly implement this drug in HCM therapy.
