Cardiomegaly of Unknown Origin: Why Morphology Still Matters in the Genetic Era - A Case of Cardiac Fabry Disease.

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.
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
We report a 72-year-old man with long-standing hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and ischemic heart disease, in whom autopsy, following a fatal acute coronary syndrome, revealed marked cardiomegaly (heart weight, 911 g) and concentric myocardial hypertrophy (left ventricular wall thickness up to 2.4 cm) that appeared disproportionate to the expected degree of hypertensive and ischemic remodeling. Histological examination showed diffuse vacuolization of cardiomyocytes with a negative periodic acid-Schiff reaction; amyloidosis and glycogen storage diseases were excluded. Electron microscopy, α-galactosidase A activity, lyso-globotriaosylceramide measurement, and genetic testing were not available. Sudan III staining of frozen myocardial sections demonstrated intracellular lipid inclusions, providing supportive but non-specific evidence of a suspected non-classical (cardiac) variant of Fabry's disease. This case highlights the importance of careful morphological evaluation in the differential diagnosis of unexplained severe left ventricular hypertrophy and illustrates both the diagnostic utility and the limitations of conventional histopathological methods in autopsy practice.
