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

backgroundTo compare outcome and cardiac pathology between patients with Noonan syndrome (N-HCM) and sarcomere protein-associated (S-HCM) childhood onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

methodsClinical data were recorded from medical charts. Primary endpoint was survival. Secondary endpoints were survival without hospitalization, without intervention or without arrhythmic events. Functional clinical status and results from genetic testing, imaging, electrocardiographic (ECG) studies, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and histopathology were compared between groups.

resultsChildhood HCM was diagnosed in 29 N-HCM and 34 S-HCM patients. Follow-up time was greater than 10 years in more than half of all patients. Mortality was below 7% and not different between groups. Children with N-HCM presented at a younger age and there was less time of survival without hospitalization for heart failure or intervention in N-HCM compared to S-HCM patients. Clinical functional status improved over time in N-HCM patients. On long-term follow-up, left ventricular posterior wall thickness indexed to body surface area decreased in N-HCM and increased in S-HCM patients. There was a trend to lower risk for severe arrhythmic events in N-HCM patients and only S-HCM individuals received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. There were no differences between groups in ventricular function, ECG and CPET parameters. Myocardial fibrosis as assessed by histopathology of myocardial specimens and cardiovascular magnetic resonance with late gadolinium enhancement or T1 mapping was present in both groups.

conclusionsWhen compared to S-HCM patients, children with N-HCM have increased morbidity during early disease course, but favorable long-term outcome with low mortality, stagnation of myocardial hypertrophy, and low risk for malignant arrhythmias.
