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

purposePrevious studies have established red flags that raise clinical suspicion for the hereditary form of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv). However, these have not been specifically evaluated for the most common associated variant, TTR p.(Val142Ile).

methodsUsing an ancestrally diverse electronic health-record-linked biobank with exome sequence data from 27,630 unrelated adults, we evaluated 9 ATTRv-related clinical features among TTR p.(Val142Ile)-positive and -negative individuals.

resultsAmong 337 variant-positive individuals (median age 63, 60% female), 10 (3.0%) were diagnosed with amyloidosis. TTR p.(Val142Ile) was associated with increased odds of cardiomyopathy/heart failure (CM/HF), atrial fibrillation, polyneuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and proteinuria, but only in individuals ≥60 years. These features were evident 1.7 to 7.7 years earlier in variant-positive vs -negative individuals (hazard ratio [HR] 1.37, P = 3.99 × 10

conclusionThis study clarifies red flags that are associated with TTR p.(Val142Ile) in an age-dependent manner. With modifying therapies being available, early diagnosis of ATTRv in variant-positive individuals through the recognition of key clinical features is paramount.
