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

backgroundHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients has been reported in association with use of calcineurin inhibitors. However, data on the incidence and prevalence of HCM in adult posttransplant patients are limited. We sought to describe the clinical characteristics of solid organ transplant recipients who were diagnosed with HCM from 2011 to 2021 at a single center.

methodsPatients who had undergone solid organ transplant and exhibited left ventricular hypertrophy with left ventricular wall thickness ≥13 mm on transthoracic echocardiography were included. Clinical history, pedigree analysis, clinical genetic testing, transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, treatment, and follow-up testing results were collected. Categorical variables were described as n (%). Continuous variables were described with medians and interquartile ranges and compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum and Kruskal-Wallis tests. A 2-sided

resultsThree lung, 5 kidney, and 4 liver transplant recipients from 12 different families were included. Seven patients (58%) did not carry a preexisting diagnosis of hypertension, and none had a history of aortic or subaortic stenosis. A majority of patients exhibited asymmetric septal hypertrophy (67%; medial septal thickness versus left ventricular posterior wall thickness 17 versus 13 mm;

conclusionsSymptomatic HCM with dynamic LVOT obstruction can develop in solid organ transplant recipients, and genetic testing can identify individuals with sarcomeric HCM. Medical management and septal reduction therapies are treatment options for severe symptomatic disease.
