Review in Journal of echocardiography, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most frequent cardiac disease with genetic substrate, affecting about 0.2-0.5% of the population. While most of the patients with HCM have a relatively good prognosis, some are at increased risk of adverse events. Identifying such patients at risk is important for optimal treatment and follow-up. While clinical and electrocardiographic information plays an important role, echocardiography remains the cornerstone in assessing patients with HCM. In this review, we discuss the role of echocardiography in diagnosing HCM, the key features that differentiate HCM from other diseases and the use of echocardiography for risk stratification in this setting (risk of sudden cardiac death, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and stroke). The use of modern echocardiographic techniques (deformation imaging, 3D echocardiography) refines the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of patients with HCM. The echocardiographic data need to be integrated with clinical data and other information, including cardiac magnetic resonance, especially in challenging cases or when there is incomplete information, for the optimal management of these patients.
