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

backgroundOur objective was to assess real-world outcomes and health care use associated with commercial mavacamten use in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

methodsWe used the Symphony Dataverse to study patients receiving mavacamten between May 25, 2022 and June 30, 2024. Safety outcomes were prespecified.

resultsWe included 2440 patients and 18 494 mavacamten dispenses (63% women, median age 66 years [interquartile range {IQR}, 55-73]). Patients were followed for a median of 3037.0 days (IQR, 2808-3221) before mavacamten initiation and for 240 days (IQR, 117-407) on mavacamten. Atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF/AFL) at baseline were present in 536 (22%) of patients, whereas new-onset AF/AFL requiring therapy occurred in 125 patients (5%) and new heart failure (HF) in 100 patients (4%). During follow-up, 154 patients (6%) received new dispenses of loop diuretics, 102 (4%) oral anticoagulants, 78 (3%) amiodarone, 17 (0.7%) sotalol, and 6 (0.2%) dofetilide. There was a total of 306 patients (13%) with 428 acute care episodes (most common claims were HF (n=80, 26%), AF (n=74, 24%), and AFL (n=16, 5%)). Predictors of outcomes (new HF, new AF/AFL, ventricular tachycardia, or transient ischemic attack/stroke claim) were age at mavacamten start, obesity, transient ischemic attack/stroke history, and residence in the Western versus Southern United States.

conclusionsOver an 8-month median follow-up on mavacamten in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, new AF/AFL and HF occurred in 5% and 4%, respectively. Further work is needed to better understand the expected incidence of AF/AFL, HF, and other long-term outcomes of mavacamten treatment in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
