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

Renal prognosis in light-chain amyloidosis (AL) is determined by categorizing patients into three renal stages at diagnosis and assessing renal response or renal progression following chemotherapy after 6 months. We evaluated, in a test (N=1,935) cohort of patients with renal AL amyloidosis who were followed for a median of 95 months, a modified 4-stage model where Renal Stage 2 was sub-categorized according to preserved (2A) or reduced (2B) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). A hybrid model for evaluation of renal progression was also introduced, using an eGFR cut-off of 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. These models were compared with existing models; namely those of Palladini and Kastritis, and results were validated in a multicenter cohort (N=438). The risk of progression to renal replacement therapy (RRT) increased progressively across all Renal Stages of the Revised staging model (hazard ratio [HR] =3.25, HR=5.13, HR=10.66 for stages 2A, 2B and 3 respectively vs. stage 1; each P<0.001). Our revised criteria for renal response (HR=0.26, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.18-0.38 at 60 months) and renal progression (HR=8.15, 95% CI: 6.1-10.9) were independently predictive of RRT and outperfomed existing criteria at all follow-up time points. Renal progression was independently associated with mortality (HR=1.5, 95% CI: 1.26-1.86; P<0.001). The enhanced performance of these refined renal staging and response models enables timely and appropriate chemotherapy adjustment in patients with renal AL amyloidosis.
