Applicability of phase 3 trial selection criteria to real-world transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Several randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (RCT) explore disease-modifying therapeutics in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). However, it is currently unclear whether patients eligible to participate in the RCT are representative of real-world patients. ATTR-CM patients presenting to a tertiary referral center for cardiac amyloidosis at the Medical University of Vienna between March 2012 and May 2024 were included in a prospective registry. Inclusion and exclusion criteria of the ATTRACT, ATTRIBUTE, HELIOS-B, CARDIO-TTRANSFORM, and the DEPLETTR-CM trial were applied, and the baseline characteristics of the hypothetical trial cohorts as well as their survival were compared. 353 patients (80.3 years, IQR: 75.5-84.2, 17.6% female) were included, and 192 (57.8%) patients would have been eligible to participate in ATTRIBUTE, ATTRACT would have recruited 163 (49.1%) patients, HELIOS-B 105 (31.6%) patients, CARDIO-TTRANSFORM 80 (24.1%) subjects, and 71 (21.4%) patients would have been eligible for DEPLETTR-CM. Hypothetical ATTRIBUTE, ATTRACT, HELIOS-B, and CARDIO-TTRANSFORM patients demonstrated only minor differences regarding baseline characteristics, both among each other and compared to the real-world cohort. However, DEPLETTR-CM eligible patients exhibited more severely elevated biomarkers of heart failure (NT-proBNP: 2590pg/mL, IQR: 1614-4423, vs. 2339pg/mL, IQR: 1154-4250; p < 0.001) and more advanced National Amyloidosis Centre stage (p < 0.001). Patients who could have been included in DEPLETTR-CM also showed significantly worse survival. Applied to our real-world ATTR-CM cohort, RCT inclusion and exclusion criteria would have selected patients comparable to the real-world cohort. Only the DEPLETTR-CM trial would have selected patients with more advanced disease and worse prognosis.
