Review in Current cardiology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewThe aim of this review is to give an update on the molecular imaging tools currently available as well as to discuss the potential roles and limitations of molecular imaging in cardiac amyloidosis. RECENT

findingsMolecular imaging plays a central role in the evaluation of patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis. It can be used to diagnose and distinguish between the different types of cardiac amyloidosis. The diagnostic properties of bone scintigraphy are such that it allows reliable diagnosis of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis without the need of endomyocardial biopsy in a significant proportion of patients. Furthermore, molecular tracers assessing amyloid plaque burden and sympathetic innervation may be useful for the non-invasive evaluation diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis. Cardiac amyloidosis is an under-recognized cause of left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure in the elderly. The role of molecular imaging in cardiac amyloidosis is expected to grow considering the arrival of new therapies and molecular imaging probes.
