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

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a myocardial disorder characterized by hypertrophy of the left ventricle that can lead to significant symptoms, particularly with exercise. For patients with HCM who demonstrate obstructive physiology, the first-in-class targeted cardiac specific myosin inhibitor, mavacamten, has been found to reduce the degree of obstruction as well as symptoms. Case Summary: We present a patient with symptomatic HCM who had no left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) at rest but demonstrated obstruction on treadmill stress echocardiography. She had symptomatic improvement after treatment with mavacamten. Discussion: Patients with symptomatic HCM who do not demonstrate elevated resting gradients may benefit from evaluation of exercise-induced gradients to diagnose obstructive HCM and guide initiation of targeted therapy with mavacamten. Take Home Message: Mavacamten may be safe and effective in patients who demonstrate LVOTO only upon provocation with exercise.
