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

backgroundAlcohol septal ablation (ASA) is a minimally invasive treatment for drug-refractory obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Detailed assessment of pressure changes and predictors of mortality and procedure success are not well defined.

methodsThis is a single-center study evaluating pressure changes and predictors of mortality and procedure success in transseptal ASA. Survival analysis and predictors of mortality were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression, respectively.

resultsA total of 156 patients were included (mean age, 67.3 years; 46.8% women). Left atrial (LA) pressure and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient decreased, whereas aortic pulse pressure (PP) increased post-ASA. Patients with lower baseline mean LA pressure (<median, 19 mm Hg), LVOT gradient reduction >82% (gradient change median), and PP increase >19% (PP change median) had superior survival. On Cox univariable regression, baseline mean LA pressure >median (19 mm Hg; hazard ratio [HR], 2.09 [95% CI, 1.05-4.18];

conclusionsASA is associated with an acute decrease in the LVOT gradient and LA pressures and increase in aortic PP. Mean LA pressure, percentage decrease in LVOT gradient, and increase in PP are strong predictors of survival free of all-cause mortality following ASA and are important variables for procedural guidance.
