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.

Abstract

introductionReal-world evidence on the effect of tafamidis in mixed-phenotype transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis (ATTR amyloidosis) is limited. This study assessed changes in neurologic and other measures in patients with mixed-phenotype ATTR amyloidosis treated with tafamidis free acid 61 mg for ≥ 12 months in routine clinical practice.

methodsThis observational, non-interventional, retrospective multicenter cohort study used anonymized data from four centers. Adults with variant or wild-type mixed-phenotype ATTR amyloidosis treated with tafamidis 61 mg for ≥ 12 months with pre- and post-treatment neurologic assessments were eligible. The primary objective was to assess changes in neurologic measures after ≥ 12 months of treatment; secondary and exploratory objectives were to assess changes in cardiac and frailty measures, modified body mass index (mBMI), and TTR concentration.

resultsOverall, 67 patients were included (median age 77.0 years; 79.1% male patients; 55.2% with variant ATTR amyloidosis). Median duration of treatment with tafamidis 61 mg was 35.0 months. Neuropathy Impairment Score (NIS) motor subscale, NIS reflex subscale, and Medical Research Council Scale for Muscle Strength scores showed a median change of 0 from baseline after ≥ 12 months of treatment. Cardiac measures demonstrated minimal change, although interventricular septal thickness (median change, 0.1 cm; p = 0.017) and left atrial diameter (median change, 0.3 cm; p = 0.018) increased modestly. Median change in mBMI was 6.7 g/L × kg/m

conclusionsIn this real-world study of patients with variant or wild-type mixed-phenotype ATTR amyloidosis, neurologic, cardiac, mBMI, and frailty measures were largely maintained after ≥ 12 months of treatment with tafamidis 61 mg. TTR concentration significantly increased. These findings provide real-world evidence of maintenance of neurologic function during treatment with tafamidis in mixed-phenotype ATTR amyloidosis.
