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

Cardiac amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by extracellular deposition of amyloid fibrils in many different organs finally resulting in organ failure. Cardiac involvement is common for immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL) or transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR); the latter is caused by a transthyretin gene variant or wild-type protein. Precise diagnostic assessment including laboratory tests, electrocardiography, echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, biopsy, and/or bone scintigraphy is mandatory for definition of the amyloid type and finally for treatment initiation. Treatment of cardiac amyloidosis includes symptomatic therapy of heart failure as well as the underlying disease. Causative treatment of AL amyloidosis is according to regimens used for multiple myeloma. For many years, orthotopic liver transplantation was the only treatment available for hereditary ATTR amyloidosis, but important advances have been made after approval of a novel class of medication, namely, RNA silencers. However, currently no treatment is available to remove amyloid deposited in the tissue. Thus, early diagnosis is still critical to afford the best efficacy of available therapies.
