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: Non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM) remains a therapeutic challenge, with limited pharmacological options beyond symptomatic management. Mavacamten, a selective allosteric cardiac myosin inhibitor, has shown benefit in obstructive HCM, but its role in nHCM is uncertain. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials.gov was conducted up to November 2025 for placebo-controlled randomized controlled trials (RCTs) enrolling patients with nHCM. Outcomes included Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score, peak oxygen consumption (pVO Results: Two RCTs (n = 639) met inclusion criteria. Mavacamten showed a nonsignificant improvement in KCCQ (MD: 2.12; 95% CI: -0.98 to 5.22; I Conclusions: Mavacamten does not significantly enhance symptoms, functional capacity, or health status in nHCM, though safety is comparable to placebo. Ongoing monitoring for arrhythmias and reduced ejection fraction is essential. Larger, longer-term studies are needed to clarify its role in this population.
