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 involvement from amyloidosis is of growing interest in the overall literature. Despite cardiac amyloidosis (CA) has been considered for a long time a rare disease, the diagnostic awareness is increasing mainly thanks to the improvement of diagnostic softwares and of imaging techniques such as cardiac magnetic resonance  (CMR). Some authors have observed an increase of prevalence rate of CA; moreover it's often underestimated because clinical manifestations are aspecific. The interstitial infiltration of the left ventricle has been extensively studied, while the involvement of the right ventricle (RV) has been less investigated. Involvement of the RV, even in the absence of pulmonary hypertension or clearly left ventricle infiltration, plays an important role as prognostic factor and is useful to achieve an early diagnosis. Therefore, the use of fast and low-cost diagnostic methods such as ultrasound strain of the right ventricle could be used to recognize cardiac amyloidosis early. Herein the importance of evaluating the right ventricular involvement, which can predict the most severe course of the disease also without overt clinical manifestations. The role of imaging, in particular of echocardiography, CMR, and scintigraphy is here reported.
