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

backgroundThe prognostic significance of dynamic changes in soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) in patients with light chain cardiac amyloidosis (AL-CA) remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of both baseline sST2 and 30-day changes (ΔsST2) in patients with light chain cardiac amyloidosis.

methodsPatients diagnosed with light chain cardiac amyloidosis in Heart Failure Center, Fuwai Hospital (October 2015-May 2024) were enrolled in the entire cohort, with baseline sST2 measured. A prospective subcohort (October 2023-May 2024) also underwent 30-day repeat sST2 measurement. ΔsST2 was defined as the sST2 level at 30 days minus baseline sST2. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Prognostic value of both baseline and ΔsST2 was assessed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox models. The relationships between variables and primary outcome were examined with restricted cubic splines.

resultsIn the entire cohort with 172 patients included (mean age 60.35±10.21 years; 40.1% women; median follow-up 310 days), higher baseline sST2 levels (>35 ng/mL) were independently associated with increased all-cause mortality risk (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.82 [95% CI, 1.13-2.91],

conclusionsElevated baseline sST2 (>35 ng/mL) and short-term increases in sST2 predict poor prognosis in patients with light chain cardiac amyloidosis.
