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

Heart failure (HF) is a medical condition associated with high morbidity and mortality, despite ongoing advances in diagnosis and treatment. Among the various causes of HF, cardiomyopathies are particularly significant and must be thoroughly diagnosed and characterized from the outset. In this review, we aim to present a brief overview of cardiomyopathies as a driver of HF, with a specific focus on the genetic causes, particularly nexilin (NEXN) cardiomyopathy, illustrated by a clinical case. The case involves a 63-year-old male who presented with HF symptoms at moderate exertion. Six months prior, he had been asymptomatic, and a routine transthoracic echocardiography had shown a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, during the current evaluation, transthoracic echocardiography revealed a dilated left ventricle with a severely reduced LVEF of 30%. Subsequent coronary angiography ruled out ischemic heart disease, while cardiac magnetic resonance imaging indicated a non-inflammatory, non-infiltrative dilated cardiomyopathy with extensive LV fibrosis. Genetic testing identified a heterozygous in-frame deletion variant in the
