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

Gastrointestinal (GI) amyloidosis is rare and has varying clinical and endoscopic presentations. In this case series, we present three patients with primary systemic amyloid-light chain (AL) amyloidosis with GI involvement and complications of GI bleeding. We also provide a brief review of the literature, including clinical presentation, endoscopic findings, pathology, and management of GI amyloidosis. The endoscopic findings of GI amyloidosis can vary, including friable mucosa with erosions, ulcers, and submucosal hematomas or mucosal thickening with polypoid protrusions. The endoscopic findings may correlate with the pathologic deposition of amyloid fibrils. Treatment of GI amyloidosis is generally focused on management of the underlying condition and supportive care. Gastroenterologists should be familiar with the endoscopic findings as they may be the first suggestion of disease and allow for definitive diagnosis.
