A Rare Cause of Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction: Gastrointestinal Amyloid.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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 characterized by extracellular deposition of the amyloid protein. It can affect multiple organ systems but it most commonly affects the heart, kidney and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It can occur sporadically or in association with other conditions like multiple myeloma, chronic inflammatory diseases, infections etc. Its involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is rare and diffuse. It has variable manifestations in GI tract from involving the stomach to the large bowel including liver. We present a case of 55 year old Caucasian male with recent diagnosis of multiple myeloma who presented with recurrent episodes of small bowel obstruction which was later found to be caused by amyloid deposition.
