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

Wearable sensors enable continuous recording of electrocardiographic, photoplethysmographic, and inertial signals and have accelerated the development of digital biomarkers in cardiovascular medicine. Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a progressive multisystem disease characterized by arrhythmia, conduction disturbances, hemodynamic impairment, autonomic dysfunction, and gait abnormalities, making it theoretically suitable for multimodal wearable monitoring. This review summarizes current knowledge on wearable applications in amyloidosis with ATTR serving as an illustrative case, evaluates the plausibility of extrapolating signal-based biomarkers from related cardiovascular and neurological cohorts, and outlines methodological and implementation challenges. ATTR-specific data remain limited to small observational studies, mainly on long-term rhythm monitoring and supervised functional assessment. More comprehensive findings support the extraction of metrics such as atrial fibrillation burden, activity patterns, gait variability, and heart rate variability. However, ATTR-related structural remodeling and high arrhythmia burden may distort conventional digital biomarkers, necessitating disease-specific preprocessing and prospective validation. Wearable monitoring in ATTR is technically feasible and biologically plausible but remains investigational. Before routine integration into care pathways can be recommended, standardized, phenotype-stratified studies are needed that link wearable-derived characteristics to assessed clinical outcomes.
