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

purposeTo evaluate right ventricular (RV) uptake measured by quantitative [

methodsPatients with ATTR-CA were consecutively enrolled for quantitative [

resultsThe study included 76 patients, all showing both RV and LV uptake on SPECT imaging. Compared with patients with focal RV uptake, patients with diffuse RV uptake had higher serum troponin T levels (P < 0.05), septal thickness (P < 0.01), and external cardiac circulation volume (ECV) (P < 0.05). RV uptake was correlated with septal thickness, ECV, LV uptake, NT-proBNP and troponin-T (all P < 0.05). Among 53 patients, high LV and RV uptake significantly predicted MACEs (P < 0.001), with a median follow-up time of 16 months. A subgroup of 20 patients showed significant reductions in LV and RV uptake after Tafamidis treatment (P < 0.001).

conclusionIncreasing RV amyloid burden quantified by SPECT/CT is associated with advanced disease stage and predicts MACEs, serving as valuable markers for prognosis and treatment monitoring in ATTR-CA.
