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

Background: The current understanding of the clinical course and long-term outcome of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has been extrapolated from cohorts with relatively short follow-up, usually <10 years. Extended assessments more closely reflecting HCM lifetime burden are not available. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the lifetime clinical course of HCM. Methods: We analyzed the clinical course of HCM patients diagnosed at our center from 1970 to 1992 and followed annually to the present. Cumulative incidence functions were used to estimate the incidence of HCM-related mortality (including heart failure [HF]/stroke related, sudden cardiac death [SCD]) and non-HCM related. Results: A total of 202 patients (age 41 ± 17 years; 63% male) were followed 27 ± 6 [range: 3-50] years. Overall, 97 (48%) survived and 105 (52%) died during the particularly long follow-up; 69 deaths were related to HCM, including 53 HF related, 11 fatal embolic strokes, and 16 SCDs. Annual overall HCM-related mortality was 1.3%/y, increasing from 0.7% during the first decade to 1.8% in the second/third decade ( Conclusions: In this unique HCM cohort followed for up to 50 years, often before contemporary therapies became widely implemented for HCM, HF frequently progressed over time, while arrhythmic SCD events were less common and remained constant over time. Despite spanning different management eras over 5 decades, HCM-related mortality remained relatively low (1.3%/y).
