An Unusual Case of Heart Failure: Sometimes When You Hear Hoof Beats You Should Think of Zebras.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This case describes a 74-year-old male who was hospitalized with hyponatremia and worsening systolic and new diastolic heart failure. Workup showed low voltage QRS complexes on electrocardiogram and new diastolic dysfunction on echocardiogram. Because of this clinical scenario amyloidosis was suspected. ATTR amyloidosis was confirmed without doing an invasive endocardial biopsy by the use of immunofixation studies and Technetium 99 PYPm scan, and abdominal fat pad biopsy. The types and manifestations of amyloidosis in general and cardiac amyloidosis, in particular, are reviewed as well as the diagnostic test available to the clinician to confirm this diagnosis.
