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

Systemic amyloidosis is rarely reported among cetaceans, and a surveillance dedicated for its occurrence across a certain geographic location has not been reported. Between 2013 and 2018, comprehensive gross and histopathologic examinations were conducted on 54 animals comprising 11 species of stranded and bycaught cetaceans in Hokkaido, Japan. Systemic amyloidosis was diagnosed in 2 out of 3 Stejneger's beaked whales (Mesoplodon stejnegeri), through Congo red staining and immunohistochemistry for amyloid A. The kidney and gastrointestinal tract had the largest amounts of amyloid deposits, representing a previously undescribed organ distribution in the species. The current study demonstrates the possibility of Stejneger's beaked whales being prone to the development of systemic amyloidosis, and highlights the need for further investigations.
