Deep vein thrombosis in a patient with wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.

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
Wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt-CA) is a progressive myocardial disease characterized by an increased ventricular wall thickness. ATTRwt-CA is often accompanied by monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), as indicated by an abnormal serum-free light chain ratio or detection of monoclonal protein (M-protein) on serum immunofixation electrophoresis. Increasing evidence has emerged regarding the risk of venous thromboembolic disease in patients with MGUS. Herein, we report a case of ATTRwt-CA with M-protein, where the patient developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A 72-year-old man presented with gradual progressive swelling of the right lower extremity. He had undergone surgical treatment for bilateral carpal syndrome and lumbar spinal canal stenosis. He was diagnosed with DVT and severe left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, and was treated with a direct factor Xa inhibitor. Given severe LV hypertrophy, the patient underwent further cardiac examinations. Learning objective: Wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt-CA) is often accompanied by monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), as indicated by an abnormal serum-free light chain ratio or detection of monoclonal protein (M-protein). Meanwhile, increasing evidence has emerged about the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with MGUS. We report a case of ATTRwt-CA with M-protein, in which DVT developed. Under these conditions, paying attention to both pathological aspects is warranted.
