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

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure, sudden cardiac death and heart transplant. DCM is inherited in approximately 50% of cases, in which the most frequent genetic defects are truncation variants of the titin gene ( HIGHLIGHTS: - Titin (TTN) truncation variants are the most frequent cause of dilated cardiomyopathy, one of the main causes of heart failure and heart transplant. Titin is a giant protein, and the mechanisms causing the disease are both complex and still incompletely understood.- This review discusses the role of titin in myocardial function and in disease. In particular, we discuss TTN gene structure, the complexity of genotype-phenotype correlation in human disease, the physiology of TTN and the role of post-translation modification.- Additional studies will be required to clarify whether missense variants are associated with cardiac disease. While initial studies suggested a role of non-synonymous variants in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, confirmatory investigations have been hampered by the complexity of the protein structure and function.
