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

aimsWild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is a cardiomyopathy causing myocardial hypoperfusion and impaired cardiac mitochondrial function. Trimetazidine is an antianginal agent used in patients with stable angina pectoris, which improves cardiac contractility and mitochondrial function. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of trimetazidine on invasive haemodynamics and cardiac mitochondrial function in ATTRwt.

methodsIn a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, 22 patients with ATTRwt received 4 weeks of trimetazidine and placebo in randomized order. After each treatment period followed examinations with endomyocardial biopsies taken for high-resolution respirometry and right heart catheterization at rest and during a cardiopulmonary exercise test. The primary endpoint was mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure (mPAWP) during peak exercise. The secondary endpoint was cardiac mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation capacity. Exploratory endpoints were echocardiographic parameters, cardiac biomarker levels and quality of life.

resultsTrimetazidine did not significantly reduce mPAWP during peak exercise (31 ± 12 vs. 31 ± 13 mmHg, P = 0.61) or improve the cardiac mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation capacity (73.4 ± 7.7 vs. 75.3 ± 7.7 pmol O

conclusionsIn ATTRwt, treatment with trimetazidine did not improve mPAWP or cardiac mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation capacity compared with placebo.
