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

Aims: Early detection is important given the availability of new disease-modifying therapies and the high prevalence of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) among patients with aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We developed a multi-modal artificial intelligence (AI) model for early detection of ATTR-CM using chest computed tomography (CT), echocardiography, and electrocardiography. This approach may provide a scalable strategy for preclinical monitoring. Methods and results: This retrospective study included patients who underwent technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (PYP) scintigraphy at two academic medical centres: Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medicine. ATTR-CM status was determined using a composite reference standard incorporating PYP scan interpretation, laboratory tests, and endomyocardial biopsy results when available. The diagnostic performance of the model was measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values at various thresholds. Among 816 patients (median age 79.0 years, 61.2% male), 127 (15.6%) had confirmed ATTR-CM. Patients with ATTR-CM were older, more often male, and had characteristic echocardiographic features, including increased wall thickness and reduced ejection fraction. In the independent TAVR test cohort, the multi-modal AI model achieved an AUROC of 0.85 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.74-0.93], significantly outperforming single-modality approaches in our data. At the optimal threshold, the model demonstrated 73.3% sensitivity, 82.9% specificity, and 96% negative predictive value. Conclusion: A multi-modal AI approach using routinely acquired chest CT, echocardiography, and electrocardiography data can enable screening for ATTR-CM in TAVR patients, potentially facilitating earlier diagnosis and treatment initiation.
