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

Restrictive cardiomyopathy secondary to cardiac amyloidosis is an underdiagnosed cause of heart failure and it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The most common types of amyloidosis are light chain amyloidosis, transthyretin amyloidosis and secondary amyloidosis. We report the case of a 84-year-old man that presented with new onset signs and symptoms of heart failure. Multimodality imaging with echocardiogram and bone tracer cardiac scintigraphy along with biomarkers, monoclonal proteins analysis and genetic test allowed to diagnosed a wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis. We discuss the clinical and diagnostic features and review the current literature about cardiac amyloidosis. This paper aims to increase clinicians' awareness of cardiac amyloidosis to promptly recognize, diagnose and treat it.
