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

backgroundSystemic amyloidoses are rare protein deposition disorders, which are often diagnosed in an advanced stage of the disease due to non-specific symptoms. Any chronic inflammatory disease can lead to an AA-type amyloidosis.

aimThis paper summarizes the current state of the art of diagnosis and treatment of AA amyloidosis and presents data from the past 10 years of our amyloidosis center. MATERIAL AND

methodsOur data represents an analysis of our cohort of patients with amyloidosis and a selective research in the PubMed database for AA amyloidosis.

resultsThe underlying diseases comprise autoinflammatory syndromes, polyarthritis, and chronic inflammatory bowel and lung diseases. Renal organ involvement is the most prevalent in AA amyloidosis. It can be detected early through the evaluation of proteinuria. The treatment depends on the individual underlying disease. Patients without an associated inflammatory disease are considered to have idiopathic AA amyloidosis and empiric treatment is mandatory. DISCUSSION: Survival of this fatal disease has recently improved due to the new diagnostic tools and treatment options; however, early diagnosis plays a crucial role in the prevention of end-stage renal failure. New therapeutic strategies aim to remove existing amyloid deposits.
