The Ace of Spades: Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in an African Male Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We present a case of a 52-year-old African male patient diagnosed with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. He was initially diagnosed with hypertensive heart disease and placed on anti-failure treatment. Following multiple subsequent presentations and on closer review of his signs and symptoms, apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was considered. The diagnosis was made five years after his initial presentation and confirmed by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. This case report explores his presentation and aims to provide further literature on the aetiology, description, and management of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, particularly within the African population.
