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

rationaleHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with high-degree atrioventricular (AV) block is rarely reported in China. This case is unique for a 35-year-old female with progressive high-degree AV block and dual heterozygous variants (MYH7 c.748A > T, DES c.553G > A), supplementing HCM's clinical-genetic spectrum. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient had 11-year post-exertional chest pain (aggravated recently), family history of sudden cardiac death, hypotension (87/46 mm Hg), bradycardia (50 bpm). ECG progressed to complete heart block; echocardiography showed left atrial enlargement, septal thickening, apical trabecular hyperplasia; cardiac MRI revealed septal fibrosis. Pro-BNP (846 ng/L) and troponin T (12 ng/L) were elevated. Genetic testing found MYH7 (highly suspected pathogenic) and DES (suspected pathogenic) variants; family screening identified 2 affected individuals. DIAGNOSES: HCM, high-degree AV block, left atrial enlargement.

interventionsDual-chamber pacemaker implantation, metoprolol + spironolactone. OUTCOMES: Symptom relief, no perioperative complications; long-term follow-up initiated. LESSONS: HCM with high-degree AV block needs genetic testing; pacemaker implantation and long-term monitoring are key for preventing sudden cardiac death. Family screening is vital for risk stratification.
