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 characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy, often leading to left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Mavacamten, a novel cardiac myosin inhibitor, targets the underlying mechanisms of HCM. Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov up to 1 August 2025 and included six randomized controlled trials comparing Mavacamten to placebo in adults with HCM. The primary outcome was the change in LVOT gradients (post-exercise, post-Valsalva, and resting). Secondary outcomes included N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels, left ventricular ejection fraction, peak oxygen consumption (pVO Results: Among 632 patients, Mavacamten significantly reduced LVOT gradients: post-exercise (MD: -38.28 mmHg, 95% CI: -45.92 to -30.63, Conclusion: Mavacamten effectively reduces LVOT gradients and NT-proBNP levels in HCM, but its impact on exercise capacity remains uncertain, with no increased risk of SAEs.
