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

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited condition characterized by left ventricular, non-dilated hypertrophy in the absence of another secondary underlying cause. There has been an ongoing increase in the diagnosis of HCM over the past couple of decades, prompting further work in the area of pharmacological and interventional therapies. This scoping review aimed to summarize the traditional therapeutic options for HCM and to explore emerging research on novel cardiac myosin inhibitors (CMIs) as a new option for pharmacologic management of HCM. A PRISMA search strategy was carried out to identify the pertinent literature on mavacamten and aficamten-two novel CMIs. Seventeen studies were included. Based on the results of the studies included in this review, cardiac myosin inhibitors have been proven to be a safe and efficacious second-line option for the management of HCM. In the foreseeable future, based on results of ongoing studies investigating patient outcomes and side-effect profile, CMIs may potentially play a larger role as part of standard treatment of HCM.
