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

backgroundPathogenic/likely pathogenic (LP) desmin (

methodsWe searched Medline (PubMed) and Embase for studies that evaluated cardiac phenotypes in patients with pathogenic/LP

resultsOf the 4212 screened publications, 71 met the inclusion criteria. A total of 230 patients were included (52.6% men, 52.2% probands, median age: 31 years [22.0-42.8] at first evaluation, median follow-up: 3 years [0-11.0]). Overall, 124 (53.9%) patients were diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, predominantly dilated cardiomyopathy (14.8%), followed by restrictive cardiomyopathy (13.5%), whereas other forms were less common: arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (7.0%), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (6.1%), arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (5.2%), and other forms (7.4%). Overall, 132 (57.4%) patients developed MACE, with 96 (41.7%) having cardiac conduction disease, 36 (15.7%) sustained VA, and 43 (18.7%) HF events. Familial penetrance of cardiac disease was 63.6% among relatives with pathogenic/LP
