Atypical primary pulmonary amyloidosis: A rare case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
rationalePulmonary amyloidosis is a rare respiratory disease characterized by amyloid deposition in the lungs. The clinical manifestations of pulmonary amyloidosis are variable and without specific symptoms. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a rare case of tracheobronchial amyloidosis to improve our understanding of the disease. DIAGNOSES: The diagnosis of tracheobronchial amyloidosis was finally established by transbronchoscopic lung biopsy and histological examination.
interventionsThe patient significantly improved with methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection (40 mg/day) for 5 days and low-dose oral prednisone for 10 days. OUTCOMES: After treatment, discomfort, such as cough, stridor, dyspnea, and chest tightness, disappeared, and he was discharged. The patient was in good clinical condition after 8 months of follow-up.
conclusionThis case clearly shows that it is difficult to distinguish tracheobronchial amyloidosis from other diseases with manifestations of cough, dyspnea and chest tightness because of their similar symptoms and imaging findings. Thus, the role of transbronchoscopic lung biopsy and histological examination in the diagnosis of tracheobronchial amyloidosis is very important.
