Alcohol septal ablation for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and bilateral lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a case report.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: We present an uncommon case of a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The case demonstrates the importance of pre-transplant cardiology workup and the need of interdisciplinary approach in diagnosing the cause of dyspnoea. Case summary: The 52-year-old male patient was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2019 and gradually became oxygen dependent due to progression of dyspnoea. Bilateral lung transplantation was recommended in 2021. During pre-transplant cardiology workup, the patient was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Considering the high surgical risk of the patient, alcohol septal ablation was performed with subsequent decrease of LVOT gradient. Bilateral lung transplantation was successfully performed afterwards. The patient's symptoms improved to NYHA class II at one year follow-up. Discussion: We present a rare case of combined cause of dyspnoea-coexistence of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in one patient. Due to high surgical risk, the patient underwent alcohol septal ablation with successful elimination of LVOT gradient and subsequently bilateral lung transplantation.
