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

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) predominantly manifests as an autosomal dominant disorder, with approximately 60% of cases carrying pathogenic or likely pathogenic genetic variants. Although more than 90% of pathogenic variants in HCM patients occur in eight core sarcomeric protein-encoding genes, some cases may be linked to variants in additional genes. Formin Homology 2 Domain Containing 3 (FHOD3), which encodes a non-sarcomeric protein, has been associated with the pathogenesis of HCM. Here, we report a young male patient with asymmetric myocardial hypertrophy assessed by echocardiography, who was asymptomatic. Whole-exome sequencing was performed on the proband, and candidate variants were validated by Sanger sequencing. A heterozygous putative splice-site variant (c.1286 + 2delT) in FHOD3 gene was identified in the proband, as well as in his mother and brother. This variant has mainly been reported in Chinese cohorts and may represent a population-enriched variant, although further studies are required to confirm this observation.
