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

Amyloid transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is one of the most common infiltrative cardiomyopathies. Contractile, biochemical, and histological assays were performed on myocardium from patients with and without amyloid transthyretin amyloidosis. Force was reduced in amyloidosis, but calcium sensitivity was increased. The change in calcium sensitivity may reflect dephosphorylation of troponin I. The proportion of stiffness attributable to the extracellular matrix was larger in amyloidosis. Septal fibrosis and amyloid burden correlated with measurements from LV samples. Technetium pyrophosphate scans may detect increased microcalcifications in amyloidosis myocardium. Replacement of myocytes with extracellular matrix is the most important factor depressing contractile force in amyloidosis myocardium.
