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

Amyloidosis is a systemic disease caused by the accumulation of extracellular protein into amyloid deposits. Due to the involvement of a variety of organs and tissues, the disease has no specific clinical features and a high rate of misdiagnosis. The present study describes one case of primary amyloidosis, as confirmed by biopsies of rectal and renal tissues using Congo red staining, demonstrating that abdominal distension and diarrhea were the main symptoms of disease. The current case is also discussed within the context of a review of the associated literature.
