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

backgroundHereditary transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (hATTR-CM) is a progressive and fatal disease. Recent evidence indicates that bone scintigraphy may serve as a tool to monitor the effectiveness of hATTR-CM treatment. The objective of this study was to examine how eplontersen therapy influences the semiquantitative uptake of technetium-99m-pyrophosphate in individuals diagnosed with hATTR-CM. METHODS AND

resultsWe retrospectively analyzed a prospective cohort from the NEURO-TTRansform trial, including patients with hATTR-CM receiving eplontersen (45 mg/4 weeks). A control group comprised patients with hATTR-CM who had not received eplontersen, inotersen, tafamidis, or patisiran. Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography was conducted at baseline and during follow-up. Thirteen patients with hATTR-CM were enrolled, with 6 receiving eplontersen and 7 serving as the control group. The median follow-up time was 544 days. The eplontersen group exhibited a significant decrease in volumetric heart and lung ratio (3.774 to 2.979,

conclusionsThe volumetric heart and lung ratio used to quantify technetium-99m-pyrophosphate uptake showed a significant reduction subsequent to eplontersen treatment in individuals diagnosed with hATTR-CM. These findings suggest the potential efficacy of eplontersen in treating hATTR-CM and highlight the value of technetium-99m-pyrophosphate single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography as a tool for monitoring therapeutic effectiveness.
