A young patient with recurrent respiratory tract infection and anasarca.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A young man with a history of recurrent respiratory tract infections for the past 8 years presented with generalised anasarca. He was found to have advanced renal disease (stage 4) and a profound proteinuria of 82.9 g/day. Further workup revealed the presence of advanced bronchiectatic changes in the lungs. Rectal biopsy showed the characteristic pattern of amyloid deposition. A diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis secondary to bronchiectasis was made. To the best of our knowledge no other cases of bronchiectasis-associated renal amyloid disease with such marked proteinuria have been reported in the literature. Our patient had a relatively short duration between the onset of his symptoms related to underlying bronchiectasis and his clinical presentation of renal amyloidosis. He had an aggressive course of disease and unfortunately died at a very young age.
