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

Hereditary amyloid transthyretin variant (ATTRv) amyloidosis is a rare, life-threatening disease, characterized by the deposition of aggregated transthyretin (TTR) protein in multiple organs and tissues. Diagnosis is often delayed due to its heterogeneity in presentation, which includes a wide range of cardiac and/or neurologic symptoms. Thus, awareness of ATTRv amyloidosis across multiple specialties is needed for its early diagnosis and management. This paper provides a review surrounding the diagnosis and management of mixed phenotype ATTRv amyloidosis, addressed through 3 clinical questions. This paper discusses: (i) the need for patients with ATTRv amyloidosis to be screened for mixed cardiac and neurologic phenotypes through early multidisciplinary referral; (ii) the therapeutic landscape for ATTRv amyloidosis in Canada, with emphasis on the need for prompt therapy selection and initiation, based on multidisciplinary collaboration; and (iii) how disease can be monitored pre- and post-treatment. Case studies are provided to illustrate how the available evidence impacts practice.
