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

A 74-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital for catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed basal interventricular septal hypertrophy without apical sparing. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed late gadolinium enhancement in the hypertrophic lesions. The Kumamoto criteria was one point, and the patient had no carpal tunnel syndrome. However, technetium-99m pyrophosphate scintigraphy revealed an accumulation in the basal region of the left ventricle. A skin biopsy revealed transthyretin (TTR) amyloid deposition. A TTR gene examination revealed no variants. This case suggests that amyloid deposition in TTR may occur in the basal area of the interventricular septum.
