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 3 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 reviewWhile morbidity and mortality remain high for amyloid cardiomyopathy (AC), increased awareness, earlier diagnosis, and advances in treatment have improved patient outcomes. This review will discuss the pathophysiology, contemporary diagnostic strategies, and novel and investigational therapeutic strategies for light-chain (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR) AC. RECENT

findingsDiagnostic strategies for AC now include cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and bone scintigraphy. Proteosome inhibitor therapy is now front-line therapy for AL AC followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. Emerging disease-modifying strategies for ATTR AC include the recently FDA-approved TTR-stabilizer, tafamadis. ATTR gene-silencing therapy and amyloid fibril degradation therapy are two other strategies under investigation. Heart transplantation and durable mechanical circulatory support remain a final potential option; however, contemporary outcomes are improving with better patient selection. Patient outcomes for AC are expected to improve as increased awareness leads to earlier diagnosis and prompt treatment with emerging pharmacotherapy or advanced heart therapies.
