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

Transthyretin (TTR) amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) therapies include both TTR gene silencers and TTR stabilizers. The role of TTR gene silencers added to background TTR stabilizer therapy is unknown, and the effects of silencer treatment in the absence of stabilizer use are unclear. In the CARDIO-TTRansform study, 1,432 patients (n = 135 (9.4%) women and n = 1,297 (90.6%) men) with ATTR-CM were randomized (1:1) and treated with the antisense oligonucleotide eplontersen (45 mg every 4 weeks) that targets TTR or with placebo for up to 140 weeks. At baseline, 57% of the patients were taking TTR stabilizers. In the overall study, treatment with eplontersen did not reduce the primary composite endpoint. Here, in a prespecified analysis, we show that the primary endpoint (a composite of cardiovascular mortality and recurrent cardiovascular events) was modified by baseline stabilizer use (P
