A case of isolated light chain deposition disease in the duodenum.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a rare disorder associated with a clonal proliferation of plasma cells, which synthesize abnormal monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains. LCDD is characterized by systemic deposition of light chains in various organs, with the kidneys being most commonly affected. There have been few reports of isolated LCDD. We report a rare case of LCDD limited to a duodenal polyp. A 63-yr-old man visited our hospital for health screening without symptoms in 2009. On gastrofiberscopy, a duodenal polyp was observed. The biopsy showed diffuse infiltration by atypical plasma cells, which were positive for kappa-type light chains by immunohistochemistry. While the patient refused further management, we could find no evidence of recurrence until 2 yr after the initial diagnosis. It has been reported that isolated LCDD has relatively good prognosis compared to systemic LCDD. However, treatment for this disease has not been established yet.
