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

backgroundHereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis was first described in Sweden in the late 1960s. Selected patient data have been collected since then and have now been transferred to a national quality registry.

methodsThis is the first report from SveATTR-a longitudinal Swedish web-based registry open for TTR variant carriers and patients with ATTR amyloidosis. The registry covers basic background information, as well as relevant clinical follow-up measures and data on disease-modifying therapies. Data from all ATTRv amyloidosis patients registered through December 2022 were included.

resultsIn total, 1055 patients were included, of whom 65% were males and 95% carried the V30M variant. Median age of onset was 64 years, and 79% had a late disease onset (≥50 years). Eighty-seven percent of the patients had peripheral polyneuropathy at onset, whereas 10% had cardiac symptoms, 8% had visual disturbances, and 6% had gastrointestinal symptoms. A total of 159 patients had undergone liver transplantation, and 233 had received a disease-modifying drug. Improved survival was seen for transplanted patients and for patients on drug therapy.

conclusionThis report highlights the importance of SveATTR for further characterization of the Swedish ATTRv amyloidosis population as well as for evaluating the efficacy of disease-modifying therapies.
