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 the most common inherited cardiomyopathy and is frequently complicated by left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. While most cases are caused by sarcomeric mutations, up to 10% represent non-sarcomeric or syndromic phenocopies, including Noonan syndrome (NS). Noonan syndrome is a RASopathy in which mutations in genes such as Case summary: We report a 29-year-old woman with long-standing obstructive HCM and NYHA class III symptoms, angina, and dizziness. Multimodality imaging demonstrated asymmetric septal hypertrophy (maximal wall thickness 20 mm), focal intramural late gadolinium enhancement, and dynamic LVOT obstruction reaching 55 mmHg during exercise. Owing to progressive obstruction, the patient was enrolled in the EXPLORER-HCM trial. During follow-up exceeding 5 years, treatment resulted in sustained reduction of LVOT gradients, improvement in functional status to NYHA class II, and complete resolution of angina and presyncope, without adverse effects. Genetic testing performed during trial participation identified a heterozygous likely pathogenic Discussion: This case report demonstrates durable clinical and haemodynamic benefit of myosin inhibition in
