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

Pulmonary amyloidosis is a rare disease that incorporates deposition of amyloid microfibril material in the lung parenchyma. The condition generally presents as an indolent subacute-to-chronic pulmonary disease and requires tissue biopsy to establish the diagnosis. Nodular pulmonary amyloidosis, a subtype of pulmonary amyloidosis, is characterised by special radiographic and pathological features. While the disease can be associated with inflammatory conditions; its association with mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) is unusual and carries management challenges. Herein, we illustrate a case study of nodular pulmonary amyloidosis associated with underlying MALT lymphoma in a patient with known systemic lupus erythematosus. The aim of this article is to share the management experience of this complex condition with the medical community and to conduct an up-to-date literature review on nodular pulmonary amyloidosis.
