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

backgroundTransthyretin amyloidosis is an under-recognised systemic disease whereby misfolded transthyretin proteins form fibrils capable of depositing in various tissues and organs. Despite improvements to diagnostic modalities, the associations between imaging techniques and clinical laboratory metrics remain unclear.

methodsA single-centre retrospective cohort study was performed including 183 patients aged 18 years or older diagnosed with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) in a tertiary care setting. Linear regression and multivariate proportional hazard models were used to examine the associations between established imaging modalities (ie, technetium-99m pyrophosphate (

resultsOf the 183 patients included, 143 (78.1%) were male, with a median age (IQR) of 73.0 (66.0-79.0) years. Primary analyses revealed significant associations between positive

conclusionsThese data suggest strong associations exist between cardiac biomarkers, structural echocardiographic changes and
