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

Aim: This meta-analysis was performed to assess the efficacy and safety of mavacamten in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Methods & materials: A search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus up to August 2022 for randomized studies reporting our pre-specified outcomes. Results: It was observed that mavacamten significantly improved New York Heart Association class (p < 0.009), Clinical Summary Score of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (p = 0.02), post-exercise left ventricular outflow tract gradient (p < 0.00001), functional end point (p = 0.05), and lowered septal reduction therapy rates (p < 0.00001). However, there were no significant differences in the ≥1 severe adverse events, ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse events, left ventricular volume index, left ventricular filling pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic volume index, and peak oxygen uptake (pVO Conclusion: Future large-scale trials are required to confirm our results and determine the long-term benefits and risks of mavacamten use in these patients.
