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

backgroundThere is a growing interest in the observed significant incidence of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis in elderly patients with aortic stenosis. Approximately, 16% of patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing aortic valve replacement have transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. Outcomes after aortic valve replacement appear to be worst in patients with concomitant transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.

methodsPublications in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were systematically searched from January 2012 to September 2018 using the keywords transthyretin, amyloidosis, and aortic stenosis. All studies published in English that reported the prevalence, association and outcomes of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing were included. RESULTS/

conclusionThe relationship between aortic stenosis and transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is not well understood. A few studies have proven successful surgical management when both conditions coexist. This systematic review suggests that transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is common in elderly patients with aortic stenosis and tend to have high mortality rates after AVR. The significant incidence of the two diseases occurring simultaneously warrants further investigation to improve management strategies in the future.
