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

backgroundHereditary Transthyretin-Related Amyloidosis, a clinically heterogeneous autosomal dominant disease caused by pathogenic variants in the

methodA multicenter observational "Epidemiological analysis for the hereditary Transthyretin-Related AMyloidosis"-TRAM study was performed in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

resultsA total of 5141 participants were recruited by 50 neurologic and 27 cardiologic specialized centres. Genetic analysis demonstrated a 1.1% Hereditary Transthyretin-Related Amyloidosis positivity rate among patients with polyneuropathy and/or cardiomyopathy of not obvious aetiology. Twenty-one various

conclusionsOur data support the fact that Hereditary Transthyretin-Related Amyloidosis is underdiagnosed in polyneuropathy and cardiomyopathy patients. Routine implementation of genetic testing is recommended in patients with unexplained polyneuropathy and/or cardiomyopathy to accelerate the earlier diagnosis and the time-sensitive treatment initiation.KEY MESSAGESMore than 5.000 participants with CM and/or PNP of no obvious aetiology were recruited in the observational "Epidemiological analysis for the hereditary Transthyretin-Related AMyloidosis" TRAM study and screened for pathogenic
