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

purposeAmyloidosis represents an increasingly recognized but still frequently missed cause of heart failure. In the light of many effective therapies for light chain (AL) amyloidosis and promising new treatment options for transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis, awareness among caregivers needs to be raised to screen for amyloidosis as an important and potentially treatable differential diagnosis. This review outlines the diversity of cardiac amyloidosis, its relation to heart failure, the diagnostic algorithm, and therapeutic considerations that should be applied depending on the underlying type of amyloidosis. RECENT

findingsNon-biopsy diagnosis is feasible in ATTR amyloidosis in the absence of a monoclonal component resulting in higher detection rates of cardiac ATTR amyloidosis. Biomarker-guided staging systems have been updated to facilitate risk stratification according to currently available biomarkers independent of regional differences, but have not yet prospectively been tested. Novel therapies for hereditary and wild-type ATTR amyloidosis are increasingly available. The complex treatment options for AL amyloidosis are improving continuously, resulting in better survival and quality of life. Mortality in advanced cardiac amyloidosis remains high, underlining the importance of early diagnosis and treatment initiation. Cardiac amyloidosis is characterized by etiologic and clinical heterogeneity resulting in a frequently delayed diagnosis and an inappropriately high mortality risk. New treatment options for this hitherto partially untreatable condition have become and will become available, but raise challenges regarding their implementation. Referral to specialized centers providing access to extensive and targeted diagnostic investigations and treatment initiation may help to face these challenges.
