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

backgroundDomino liver transplantation (DLT) has been commonly used during the last two decades to partly meet the high need for liver transplants. However, the recipients of grafts from patients with noncirrhotic inherited metabolic disorders may ultimately develop metabolic syndrome, and management is usually intricate, being complicated by the underlying initial disorder, other comorbidities, and post-transplantation conditions. CASE: We report here the management and the outcome in a patient with acquired transthyretin amyloidosis after DLT and significant comorbidities. Final treatment with a transthyretin gene silencing agent, patisiran, was well tolerated and resulted in remission of the aggravating neurological deficits in a follow-up period of 2 years.

conclusionsThe case presented here supports the concept that patisiran can target the hepatocytes producing the mutated transthyretin in acquired transthyretin amyloidosis, as efficiently as in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR), and can be used to treat patients with transthyretin amyloidosis after DLT.
