Screening for hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis in Bulgaria.
Article in Medicine and pharmacy reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) amyloidosis is a rare disorder with an adult-onset defined by the accumulation of misfolded fibrils predominantly in peripheral nerves, the heart, and the digestive tract. The disease is characterized by two forms - hereditary (ATTRv) or acquired (ATTRwt). Various point mutations in the transthyretin gene induce the hereditary form of the disease. For finding new cases of ATTR amyloidosis and proper screening, the establishment of a multidisciplinary team and a Centre of Excellence (CoE) is essential. CoE provides regular education and training for better diagnosis and treatment. In the current review, we focus on the importance of having a multidisciplinary team and CoE, the screening strategy for ATTR amyloidosis in Bulgaria, and assessments performed when a patient is first suspected of having this rare disease.
