Specific treatment of ATTR-CM in Germany-expert consensus of the German Society of Amyloid Diseases (DGAK) and German Cardiac Society (DGK).
Review in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTransthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure. Three disease-modifying agents are now approved for treatment in Germany: the transthyretin (TTR) stabilizers tafamidis and acoramidis, and the TTR gene silencer vutrisiran. In the absence of head-to-head trials, practical guidance for individual treatment decisions is lacking.
methodsA multidisciplinary expert panel appointed by the German Society of Amyloid Diseases (DGAK) and the German Cardiac Society (DGK) performed a comprehensive review of pivotal randomized controlled trials, open-label extension studies, real-world data, and the approved German summaries of product characteristics to develop evidence-based consensus recommendations.
resultsAll three agents have demonstrated significant reductions in all-cause mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations in phase 3 trials with comparable efficacy and tolerability profiles. Due to the absence of direct comparative studies, the panel concludes that tafamidis, acoramidis, and vutrisiran, based on the current scientific data, are considered similarly effective for most patients with confirmed ATTR-CM. An exception applies to patients with hereditary ATTR-CM and a mixed phenotype (concurrent cardiomyopathy and polyneuropathy), for whom vutrisiran is recommended as first-line therapy. Combination therapy is safe but, lacking randomized data regarding efficacy, cannot be recommended at present. Treatment decisions should incorporate patient preferences, comorbidities, mode of administration, and local regulatory frameworks. Regular monitoring using clinical parameters, biomarkers including TTR serum levels, and cardiac imaging is recommended.
conclusionsThis consensus provides a practical framework for the specific treatment of ATTR-CM in Germany, aiming for early treatment initiation. Local standards and shared decision-making remain essential for the establishment of ATTR-CM therapy in an individual patient.
