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

backgroundThe clinical benefits of mavacamten in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy previously treated with advanced therapies are not established.

methodsClinical and echocardiographic outcomes of patients treated with mavacamten for left ventricular outflow obstruction for at least 8 weeks were assessed based on prior treatment with one or more advanced therapies: disopyramide, septal myectomy, alcohol septal ablation, dual-chamber ventricular pacing with short atrioventricular delay; we also evaluated patients with left ventricular outflow obstruction that emerged as major driver of symptoms after aortic valve replacement.

resultsWe included 115 consecutive patients (mean age 66±12 years, 57% women, wall thickness 17±4 mm) on mavacamten for a median 45 (interquartile range, 22-61) weeks, of whom 53 (46%) patients were previously on disopyramide (n=45); underwent septal myectomy (n=8), alcohol septal ablation (n=6), or forced ventricular pacing (n=11); and 5 had previous aortic valve replacement. New York Heart Association class improved from 2.6±0.5 to 1.8±0.6 (

conclusionsMavacamten is a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic left ventricular outflow obstruction in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy resistant to previous advanced pharmacologic therapy, surgery, or alcohol septal ablation or who develop manifest left ventricular outflow obstruction after aortic valve replacement.
