Severe Obstructive Cholestasis and Hypercalcemia Caused by Light-Chain Amyloidosis: A Case Report.
Article in Iranian journal of medical sciences, 2022. 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
Gastrointestinal amyloidosis is a condition caused by the deposition of extracellular protein fragments. It can be associated with complex and diverse pathways and can have numerous manifestations and etiologies. Hepatic amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare disorder characterized by the deposition of the insoluble amyloid protein in the liver. The clinical presentations of AL amyloidosis are frequently non-specific. In this case report, we describe a patient with amyloidosis, who initially presented with an unusual case of severe intrahepatic cholestasis, which followed a rapidly progressive clinical course that was associated with the acute hypercalcemic crisis. The diagnosis of amyloidosis was made after the liver and bone biopsies were performed. Our findings revealed that AL amyloidosis should be considered, when a patient presents with cholestatic hepatitis, renal failure, and hypercalcemia.
