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

backgroundHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by left ventricular wall thickening, while right ventricular involvement in HCM is also common and has been identified to relate to worse prognosis. Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction is a rare clinical disorder with diverse etiologies, among which HCM is one of the most prevalent specific causes. Currently, severe RVOT obstruction caused by HCM remains rarely reported. Its phenotypic and genetic characteristics remains uncharacterized, warranting more attention. CASE PRESENTATION: This case presented a 33-year-old woman who had a unique cardiac manifestation of HCM characterized by severe RVOT obstruction, apical hypertrophy, a membranous ventricular septal aneurysm and an atrial septal aneurysm. Her genetic tests reported three novel mutation sites associated with cardiomyopathy. The diagnosis of HCM was supported by imaging, genetic and histological findings. The patient underwent RVOT myectomy to relieve the obstruction. Follow-up echocardiography at four months showed gradual recovery of right ventricular function and a marked reduction in the pressure gradient of RVOT.

conclusionsIsolated, severe RVOT obstruction caused by HCM is very rare. It requires careful differentiation from congenital heart diseases and actively individualized management in line with guidelines for left ventricular involvement. The unique cardiac features in our case exhibited phenotypic heterogeneity of HCM. The novel reported mutation sites indicated genetic heterogeneity of cardiomyopathy. With more clinical evidence available, we will have a deeper understanding of genotype-phenotype correlations across different cardiomyopathies.

trial registrationThe study is not a clinical trial. The registration details (registry, trial registration number, and data of registration) are not needed.
