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

Transthyretin (TTR) amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a fatal disease with no available disease-modifying therapies. While pathogenic TTR mutations (TTRm) destabilize TTR tetramers, the T119M variant stabilizes TTRm and prevents disease. A comparison of potency for leading TTR stabilizers in clinic and structural features important for effective TTR stabilization is lacking. Here, we found that molecular interactions reflected in better binding enthalpy may be critical for development of TTR stabilizers with improved potency and selectivity. Our studies provide mechanistic insights into the unique binding mode of the TTR stabilizer, AG10, which could be attributed to mimicking the stabilizing T119M variant. Because of the lack of animal models for ATTR-CM, we developed an in vivo system in dogs which proved appropriate for assessing the pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics profile of TTR stabilizers. In addition to stabilizing TTR, we hypothesize that optimizing the binding enthalpy could have implications for designing therapeutic agents for other amyloid diseases.
