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

introductionHematologic response is well established in systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis treatment, but hepatic response patterns remain unclear. This study explored hepatic response dynamics in hepatic-involved patients with AL amyloidosis who achieved hematologic partial response within 24 months post-treatment.

methodsUsing two- and four-level hepatic response criteria (two-level: hepatic organ response [hepatic OR], hepatic no response [hepatic NR]; four-level: hepatic complete response [hepaCR], hepatic very good partial response [hepaVGPR], hepatic partial response [hepaPR], hepatic no response [hepaNR]), responses were assessed at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.

resultsAmong 137 patients (median follow-up: 55.0 months), hepatic OR and ≥ hepaPR plateaued at 24 months, with hepatic OR achieved in 75.6% (65/86), hepaCR in 10.5% (9/86), hepaVGPR in 16.3% (14/86), and hepaPR in 38.4% (33/86). The two-level hepatic response better predicted overall survival than the four-level criteria. Patients achieving hepatic OR within 24 months had significantly better prognosis than non-responders (log-rank p = 0.008; HR, 2.782; 95% CI, 1.260-6.141), with no impact from response speed. Hematologic complete response (CR
