Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and the Brockenbrough-Braunwald-Morrow Phenomenon: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2019. 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
The Brockenbrough-Braunwald-Morrow phenomenon provides objective evidence of the existence and degree of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, which can be improved with pharmacological therapy, surgical myectomy, or interventional alcohol septal ablation (ASA). This article incorporates contemporary research findings that are useful for the diagnosis and management of this entity. We present the case of a 67-year-old lady with a past medical history significant for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and coronary artery disease. The patient presented with a complaint of functional class-3 dyspnea on exertion with associated substernal chest tightness radiating to her back that had been worsening for two days prior to admission. An echocardiogram showed left ventricular hypertrophy with septal predominance measuring 17.5 mm in end-diastole and a left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 65%. The LVOT peak gradient was elevated and a positive Brockenbrough-Braunwald-Morrow phenomenon was observed for which a septal myectomy and coronary bypass of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery were performed. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and her symptoms improved significantly. The Brockenbrough-Braunwald-Morrow phenomenon is useful to determine the degree of LVOT and to confirm the resolution of obstruction after treatment.
