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 amyloidosis is one form of systemic amyloidosis caused by abnormal amyloid fibrils deposited in the extracellular space of the myocardium causing heart failure because of restrictive cardiomyopathy and conduction disturbances. The incidence and prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis are higher than previously noted, particularly among special populations. The most common forms of cardiac amyloidosis are light chain and transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. Even though more than 70% of patients with systemic amyloidosis have cardiac amyloidosis, the diagnosis is often delayed, suggesting significant gaps in the knowledge of cardiac amyloidosis and a lack of multidisciplinary teamwork in our daily practice. The Taiwan Society of Cardiology Heart Failure Committee organized experts to draft the "Expert Consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac amyloidosis." This statement aims to help clinicians and healthcare professionals improve early diagnosis and management of cardiac amyloidosis in Taiwan. The expert panel met virtually to review the data and discuss the consensus statements. Our review provided practical information about diagnostic methods and algorithms, clinical clues and red-flag signs, cardiac amyloidosis per se and its comorbidities treatment modalities, and follow-up plans for asymptomatic transthyretin gene carriers. We especially innovate two acronyms, "HFpEF MUTED CALL" and "HFmrEF MUST COUNT", to help in the early diagnosis and screening of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy as shown in the Central Illustration.
