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

Tafamidis is the only currently available disease-modifying agent for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM); however, reports on its long-term efficacy, safety, and longitudinal cardiac parameter outcomes are lacking. Herein, we present 2 cases of wild-type ATTR-CM receiving tafamidis for 9 years, in which serial long-term follow-up data were obtained. In both cases, tafamidis treatment was continued without any adverse effects, and no hospitalization due to heart failure occurred. Notably, longitudinal observation revealed sustained inhibition of deterioration in cardiac biomarkers, left ventricular function, and hypertrophy during approximately a decade of tafamidis treatment. This case series suggests that tafamidis has the potential to sustainably delay progression of ATTR-CM.
