Transthyretin and Vitamin A Metabolism: A Review for the Cardiac Amyloidosis Specialist.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis is a systemic, progressive, and fatal disease. TTR is integral in vitamin A (retinol) transport via its binding to retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4). Current and emerging therapies for TTR amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), including RNAi therapies and potentially CRISPR-based therapies, reduce hepatic transthyretin production and hence decrease serum RBP4, which decreases circulating vitamin A levels. However, despite these reductions in circulating vitamin A, hepatic reserves and alternative delivery mechanisms may prevent clinical manifestations of vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A functions as a key regulator of immunity, antioxidant function, cell growth and differentiation and vision. This paper aims to serve as a comprehensive review of vitamin A and its metabolites, their transport, and their function in human health and disease. Additionally, we seek to synthesize the relevant outcomes and safety data of TTR silencing therapies and how they relate to circulating vitamin A levels and vitamin A-related clinical outcomes in a manner that is relevant to the cardiac amyloidosis specialist.
