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

A 72-year-old man without any symptoms was referred to our hospital. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed an elevated esophageal lesion that was covered with normal mucosa. The examination of biopsy specimens from the lesion revealed amyloid light-chain (AL) (λ) type amyloid deposits, but there were no amyloid deposits elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract. Further examinations did not indicate systemic amyloidosis. Thus, this case was diagnosed as a localized esophageal amyloidosis. As the clinical outcome of localized amyloidosis is favorable, this case was scheduled for close follow-up. Localized amyloidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of esophageal submucosal tumors.
