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.
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
backgroundHereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a hereditary, sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy caused by deposits of mutated transthyretin (TTR). The commonest TTR mutation is V30M (ATTRV30M) with patients usually living for about 10 years after disease onset. Liver transplantation (LT) until recently was considered the standard treatment. OBJECTIVE AND
methodsThis study aims to assess the frequency of CNS complications in post-LT patients from the Cypriot cohort. Epidemiological data were collected for all genetically confirmed ATTRV30M neuropathy patients diagnosed at CING since 1992, and CNS-associated symptoms were assessed and evaluated by two neurology specialists.
resultsOut of the 48 transplanted patients, 10 (20.8%) presented with a CNS complication. All patients had ocular involvement, mainly glaucoma (7/10). Eight presented with transient focal neurological episodes (TFNEs), with expressive dysphasia being reported by four of them. The mean time of TFNE-emergence was 16.6 years after the LT. Three died from cerebral hemorrhage.
conclusionsCNS complications in post-LT ATTRV30M patients are not rare and usually manifest themselves at a time that surpasses the mean time the patients would have survived without a LT. CNS involvement is associated with increased mortality, due to cerebral hemorrhage.
