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

backgroundThis study aims to assess the utility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived measurements as diagnostic indicators for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, using Doppler echocardiography as the reference method.

methodsIn this single-center retrospective cross-sectional study, adult HCM patients with transthoracic echocardiography and CMR within a 6-month time window were enrolled. Doppler LVOT gradient was measured both at rest and under provocative maneuvers. LVOTO was defined as a gradient ≥30 mmHg. The total cohort was randomly divided into a training (80%) and validation (20%) cohorts, maintaining the same proportions of patients with and without LVOTO in both cohorts. In CMR, all measurements were performed in the three-chamber balanced steady-state free precession cine images. CMR metrics were examined in relation to LVOTO by means of multivariable logistic regression models.

resultsFour hundred forty-eight adult HCM patients (67% (301/448) males, median (25th-75th percentile) age 55 (45-62) years) were enrolled. LVOTO was present in 42% (186/448) HCM patients. For identifying LVOTO, a model including the minimum distance between the mitral leaflet tip and the interventricular septum indexed to body surface area (minimum MV-IVSi distance), left ventricular (LV) stroke volume, and signal intensity ratio LVOT/LV showed an outstanding discriminatory ability in the validation cohort with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.91 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.85-0.97). The univariable model of the minimum MV-IVSi distance showed an AUC of 0.88 (95%CI 0.81-0.95). An MV-IVSi distance ≤6.5 mm/m

conclusionCMR-derived parameters, particularly the minimum MV-IVSi distance, can accurately identify LVOTO in HCM patients and easily be integrated into a standard CMR analysis.
