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 impact of alcohol septal ablation (ASA) on exercise hemodynamics, symptoms, and quality of life in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is poorly described according to contemporary standards. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ASA on filling pressures at rest and during exercise, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, symptoms, and quality of life in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

methodsThis prospective study enrolled 24 patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy referred for ASA. Right-heart catheterization and echocardiography were performed at rest and during exercise, before and ≈7 months after ASA. The primary outcome was the difference in pulmonary artery wedge pressure at 75 W. Secondary outcomes assessed left ventricular outflow tract gradients, New York Heart Association functional class, and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score.

resultsASA significantly reduced pulmonary artery wedge pressure at 75 W (33±9 mm Hg versus 24±10 mm Hg;

conclusionsASA significantly reduced exercise-induced filling pressures and LVOT obstruction, leading to improved symptoms and quality of life in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
