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

Background: Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is increasingly recognized as a major cause of heart failure in elderly patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. Although tafamidis was approved in 2019 following the ATTR-ACT study, its real-world survival impact in community settings remains unclear. Methods and Results: This retrospective study analyzed 117 patients diagnosed with ATTR-CM at a single center from 2015 to 2024, with 75 receiving tafamidis and 42 untreated. Among the 83 patients who underwent genetic testing, all had the wild-type genotype. ATTR-CM diagnoses increased significantly after the advent of Conclusions: In this real-world cohort, tafamidis treatment was significantly associated with better survival in ATTR-CM patients, particularly when initiated in the early stage. Therefore, early detection and timely initiation of treatment are critical for optimizing clinical outcomes in this increasingly recognized condition.
