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

We report two unrelated Bulgarian families with hereditary transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis due to a rare p.Glu74Leu (Glu54Leu) pathogenic variant found in seven individuals-three of them symptomatic. Only one family with the same variant and with a Swedish origin has been clinically described so far. Our patients are characterized by predominant cardiac involvement, very much similar to the Swedish patients. Although the initial complaint was bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, advanced amyloid cardiomyopathy was found in two symptomatic carriers at diagnosis with heart failure manifestations. The neurological involvement was considered as mild, with mainly sensory signs and symptoms being present. We followed a non-biopsy algorithm to confirm the diagnosis. Tafamidis 61 mg has been initiated as the only approved disease modifying treatment for ATTR cardiomyopathy. Clinical stability in the absence of adverse events has been observed at follow up.
