Efficacy of tafamidis in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
In May 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved tafamidis as the first conservative management of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Our aim in conducting this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of tafamidis on patients with ATTR-CM. For that purpose, we thoroughly searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Clinical trails.gov by using the appropriate search strategy and following predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, which retrieved 235 articles initially. Of which two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and one observational study matched our inclusion criteria. A total of 876 patients are included in this analysis. Based on results, tafamidis significantly reduced cardiovascular (CV) mortality in the ATTR-ACT trial and Ochi
