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

backgroundCardiomyopathy, which is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous pathological condition, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Genetic diagnosis of cardiomyopathy enables accurate phenotypic classification and optimum patient management and counseling. This study investigated the genetic spectrum of cardiomyopathy and its correlation with the clinical course of the disease.

methodsThe samples of 72 Korean patients with cardiomyopathy (43 males and 29 females) were subjected to whole-exome sequencing (WES). The familial information and clinical characteristics of the patients were reviewed and analyzed according to their genotypes.

resultsDilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, and restrictive cardiomyopathy was detected in 41 (56.9%), 25 (34.7%), 4 (5.6%), and 2 (2.8%) patients, respectively. WES analysis revealed positive results in 37 (51.4%) patients. Subsequent familial testing identified ten additional familial cases. Among DCM cases, 19 (46.3%) patients exhibited positive results, with TTN variants being the most common alteration, followed by LMNA and MYH7 variants. Meanwhile, among HCM cases, 15 (60%) patients exhibited positive results with MYH7 variants being the most common alteration. In six patients with positive results, extracardiac surveillance was warranted based on disease information. The incidence of worse outcomes, such as mortality and life-threatening arrhythmic events, in patients with DCM harboring LMNA variants, was higher than that in patients with DCM harboring TTN or MYH7 variants.

conclusionsDiverse genotypes were identified in a substantial proportion of patients with cardiomyopathy. Genetic diagnosis enables personalized disease surveillance and management.
