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

Basal interventricular septum (IVS) hypertrophy (BSH) is characterized by a reduced aortoseptal angle and thickened basal IVS. The BSH shape suggests compression by the longitudinally elongated ascending aorta (pseudohypertrophy), further suggesting the possibility of surgical aortic wall shortening to improve the BSH. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman with an asymptomatic dissecting thoracic ascending aortic aneurysm and clear BSH. Surgical aortic root replacement with longitudinal wall shortening clearly improved the BSH, demonstrating the beneficial effects on BSH of surgical aortic wall shortening.
