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

Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-established risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the risk of IS in HCM patients without documented AF is less recognized. This nationwide population-based cohort study using Korean National Health Insurance database included 8,328 HCM patients without documented AF and 1:2 propensity score-matched 16,656 non-HCM controls between 2010 and 2016. The primary outcome was an incident IS. During a mean follow-up of 6.1 years, IS occurred in 328/8,328 (3.9%) patients with HCM and 443/16,656 (2.7%) controls. The overall incidence of IS was 0.72/100 person-years in the HCM group, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (0.44/100 person-years) (HR 1.64; 95% CI 1.424-1.895; P < 0.001). The overall incidence of IS was 1.36/100 person-years in HCM patients aged ≥ 65 and 2.32/100 person-years years in those with heart failure, respectively. In the HCM group, age ≥ 65 years (adjusted HR 2.74; 95% CI 2.156-3.486; P < 0.001) and chronic heart failure (adjusted HR 1.75; 95% CI 1.101-2.745; P = 0.018) were independent risk factors for IS. HCM patients without documented AF are at a greater risk of IS, especially in those 65 years of age or older or those with chronic heart failure.
