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

backgroundMavacamten improves symptoms in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but real-world prescription patterns, safety profile, and the effect of atrial fibrillation (AF) on outcomes remain unclear.

methodsAn observational multicenter analysis using patient-level data from the TriNetX database (2011-2023) compared patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy treated with mavacamten versus those not treated with mavacamten (controls). Multivariable logistic regression identified predictors of mavacamten use. Propensity-score matching was used to reduce confounding bias. Outcomes included acute heart failure, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, cardiovascular hospitalization, new-onset AF, and all-cause mortality. Outcomes were also stratified by AF history.

resultsAmong 15 145 patients, 509 (3.5%) received mavacamten; 502 matched to 1475 weighted 1:3 controls (equivalent to 502). Black patients were significantly less likely to receive mavacamten compared with White patients (odds ratio, 0.45 [95% CI, 0.33-0.63]). Of the 502 mavacamten recipients, 4.8% experienced acute heart failure, 8.3% experienced systolic dysfunction, 10.8% experienced cardiovascular hospitalization, 6.4% experienced new-onset AF, and 1.4% died. Overall outcomes were similar between both groups except for a higher incidence of systolic dysfunction in mavacamten patients (log-rank

conclusionsBlack patients have markedly lower access to mavacamten. Preexisting AF was associated with a higher risk of adverse outcomes for patients on mavacamten, highlighting the need for careful monitoring.
