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

purpose of reviewDilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) frequently involves an underlying genetic etiology, but the clinical approach for genetic diagnosis and application of results in clinical practice can be complex. RECENT

findingsInternational sequence databases described the landscape of genetic variability across populations, which informed guidelines for the interpretation of DCM gene variants. New evidence indicates that loss-of-function mutations in filamin C (FLNC) contribute to DCM and portend high risk of ventricular arrhythmia. A clinical framework aids in referring patients for DCM genetic testing and applying results to patient care. Results of genetic testing can change medical management, particularly in a subset of genes that increase risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, and can influence decisions for defibrillator therapy. Clinical screening and cascade genetic testing of family members should be diligently pursued to identify those at risk of developing DCM.
