Echocardiographic diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy confined to the left ventricular apex in a cat.
Article in JFMS open reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Case summary: A 4-year-old castrated male Sphynx presented for evaluation of a heart murmur and was diagnosed with subclinical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy characterized by a primarily apical distribution of left ventricular (LV) wall thickening. Over the course of four sequential follow-ups, progressive LV apical hypertrophy and left atrial dilation developed. Despite medical therapy with clopidogrel and pimobendan, the cat developed congestive heart failure and was euthanized 32 months after echocardiographic diagnosis. No post-mortem examination was performed. Relevance and novel information: Although feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is common and the pattern of distribution of LV hypertrophy is heterogeneous, this is the first case report of apical HCM in cats. Data from the human literature are extrapolated to make the diagnosis and discuss potential negative prognostic indicators of this condition in cats.
