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

Kidney biopsies from one patient with primary (AL) and three with secondary (AA) amyloidosis were used for an ultrastructural study of the collocalization of basement membrane proteins and the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin within amyloid deposits. Antibodies against amyloid P component, laminin, and heparan sulphate proteoglycan core protein all reacted with the basement membranes and the amyloid depositions in AA and AL amyloidosis. Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies against collagen type IV reacted only with the basement membranes. Anti-fibronectin reaction was found in association with the basement membranes in all four cases, while labelling of amyloid depositions was found only in one of the AA amyloid cases and in the AL amyloid depositions. It is concluded that basement membrane components may be of importance for the formation of amyloid fibrils.
