A Tale of Three Rarities: Secondary Amyloid A (AA) Amyloidosis Caused by Recurrent Sialadenitis and Complicated by Pulmonary Hypertension and Adrenal Insufficiency.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 48-year-old lady presented with a parotid mass found to be secondary to recurrent sialadenitis. She was also found to have microcytic anemia, renal dysfunction, an elevated gamma gap, and an isolated alkaline phosphatase elevation. Later, she developed altered mental status and shock, and was found to have adrenal insufficiency, pulmonary hypertension, and pulmonary nodules. A liver biopsy was consistent with amyloid deposition. The constellation of findings was consistent with systemic amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis secondary to recurrent sialadenitis with hepatic, renal, pulmonary, and adrenal involvement. The patient later passed away due to acute hypoxic respiratory failure. This case demonstrates rare sequelae of systemic AA amyloidosis of pulmonary hypertension and adrenal insufficiency.
