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

Background: Phenotype Risk Scores (PheRS) leverage electronic health record (EHR) data to identify individuals at risk for Mendelian disorders, but their performance remains untested for diseases with common and/or non-specific features such as variant transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv), often presenting with heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation, polyneuropathy, and other prevalent diagnoses. We optimized a PheRS for the most common form of ATTRv by integrating genomic and clinical data in Mount Sinai's Bio Methods: We developed and evaluated a customized PheRS for ATTRv that incorporated 21 expert-curated phenotypic features including 292 ICD-9 and ICD-10 diagnosis codes on a biobank cohort of V142I+ cases (n=383) and controls without any pathogenic/likely pathogenic Results: The expert-curated PheRS outperformed the standard PheRS as measured by improved precision-at- Conclusion: This work demonstrates that standard PheRS methods are insufficient for common, adult-onset cardiovascular genetic diseases such as V142I-related ATTRv, but when redesigned with disease biology, ancestry, age, and clinical context in mind, PheRS become clinically actionable tools for precision cardiology.
