Case Report: Filamin C gene mutation associated with restrictive cardiomyopathy leading to heart transplantation.
Article in Frontiers in transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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: Cardiomyopathy is a disease that affects the myocardium and can be classified as dilated, restrictive, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Among the subtypes, restrictive cardiomyopathy is characterized by restriction of ventricular filling and its uncommon cause is a disease due to mutation on Filamin C (FLNC) gene. Filamin C is an actin-binding protein encoded by FLNC gene and participates in sarcomere stability maintenance, which is expressed on the striated muscle. FLNC variants have been associated with restrictive cardiomyopathy and non-compaction cardiomyopathies. The association of FLNC with a broad spectrum of cardiac phenotypes shows an important gap in knowledge. Therefore, a wide investigation is necessary to diagnose this pathology, including an anatomopathological study and genetic tests. Methods/results: The purpose of this study is to report about a patient who had restrictive cardiomyopathy due to mutation on Filamin C gene and was indicated for heart transplantation. Conclusion: The etiology of cardiomyopathy is important for the clinical management of the patient and also for guiding families regarding genetic counseling and prevention of new cases in the family.
