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

backgroundThe number of patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) has been increasing recently, and the early diagnosis and treatment of it are important.

methodsThe present study was conducted on 144 patients who underwent

results17 of 144 patients were positive (14.9%), and 15 patients were diagnosed with ATTR-CM by myocardial or skin (fat) biopsy. Other positive patients were also clinically considered to have ATTR-CM based on findings such as poor cardiac function and cerebral hemorrhage.

conclusionsThe evaluation of wall thickness and RWT on echocardiography is important for diagnosing ATTR-CM.
