Disease-Modifying Therapies for Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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.
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 (TTR) amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is the most common form of restrictive cardiomyopathy. Emerging pharmacological therapies aim to alter the natural history of disease and delay its advancement. However, data directly comparing the efficacy of different drug classes versus placebo remain limited.
objectivesThis systematic review assessed the efficacy of TTR stabilizers and silencers compared with placebo on all-cause mortality, hospitalizations, functional outcomes, and serum levels of the biomarker NT-proBNP in patients with ATTR-CM.
methodsA comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was conducted for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published through April 2025. Eligible studies compared patisiran, tafamidis, inotersen, revusiran, acoramidis, or vutrisiran to placebo in patients with ATTR-CM. Analyses were stratified by drug class, and statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
resultsSeven RCTs involving 2,526 participants were included; 42.5% received TTR stabilizers and 57.5% received TTR silencers. Compared with placebo, TTR stabilizers significantly reduced all-cause mortality (RR: 0.71; 95% CI 0.59-0.87; p=0.0006) and hospitalizations (RR: 0.81; 95% CI 0.73-0.89; p<0,0001). TTR silencers did not significantly reduce mortality (RR: 0.79; 95% CI 0.37-1.68; p=0.54) or hospitalizations (RR: 1.11; 95% CI 0.83-1.48; p=0.48). Both therapies were associated with improvements in 6-minute walk distance, quality of life, and reductions in serum NT-proBNP levels.
conclusionTTR stabilizers significantly reduced all-cause mortality and hospitalizations in patients with ATTR-CM compared with placebo. These benefits were not observed with TTR silencers, potentially due to shorter follow-up durations in the studies evaluated. Both therapies improved functional status and serum levels of NT-proBNP.
