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

Excessive trabeculation of the cardiac left ventricular wall is a complex phenotypic substrate associated with various physiological and pathological processes. There has been considerable conjecture as to whether hypertrabeculation contributes to disease and whether left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy is a distinct pathology. Building on recent insights into the genetic basis of LVNC cardiomyopathy, in particular three meta-analysis studies exploring genotype-phenotype associations using different methodologies, this review examines how genetic research can advance our understanding of trabeculation. Three groups of genes implicated in LVNC are described-those associated with other cardiomyopathies, other cardiac/syndromic conditions and putatively with isolated LVNC cardiomyopathy-demonstrating how these findings can inform the underlying pathologies in LVNC patients and aid differential diagnosis and management in clinical practice despite the limited utility suggested for LVNC genetic testing in recent guidelines. The outstanding questions and future research priorities for exploring the genetics of hypertrabeculation are discussed.
