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: Septal myectomy improves symptoms in the majority of patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but there are limited prospective data on functional outcomes after operation. Objectives: The authors investigated quality of life measures and prevalence of sexual dysfunction before and after septal myectomy for obstructive HCM. Methods: Between January 2018 and October 2019, 436 patients underwent transaortic septal myectomy at our clinic. All patients were screened for eligibility, and 197 (45.2%) were enrolled in this prospective survey study. Patients received a questionnaire pertaining to quality of life and sexual health before and within 4 to 6 months postoperatively, and 113 (57.4%) completed the follow-up survey. Results: The mean age of the 54 (47.8%) women and 59 (52.2%) men was 54.7 ± 14.1 years. Quality of life, including both mental and physical components, improved significantly in both men ( Conclusions: Quality of life is significantly improved following septal myectomy in patients with obstructive HCM. Both women and men reported mild sexual dysfunction at baseline, and women and younger men (age ≤55 years) experienced significant improvements in sexual health.
