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

AA amyloidosis, previously known as secondary amyloidosis, has been associated with multiple chronic inflammatory conditions, including various autoimmune diseases and rarely chronic infection. Hereby, we present a case of AA amyloidosis secondary to chronic infection which initially presented with nausea and hematemesis. Endoscopic biopsies revealed diffuse AA amyloid deposition in the stomach, but not the esophagus. AA Amyloidosis presumably compromised gastric motility, promoted reflux related esophageal ulcers and erosions, and caused his cardiac and renal insufficiency. Therefore, endoscopic biopsies could be practical investigation to identify AA amyloidosis in the setting of chronic inflammatory diseases, especially with multi-organ involvement.
