Immunoglobulin Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis Preceding Marginal Zone Lymphoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a systemic disease in which different systems such as kidneys, heart, and lungs are affected by the deposition of amyloid, a form of fibrillary protein. Usually, it occurs in patients with pre-existing diagnoses of plasma cell dyscrasias and is rarely seen in the concurrence of marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Earlier interventions with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone in conjunction with newer therapies such as bortezomib, carfilzomib or lenalidomide, and pomalidomide are being used to treat patients with AL amyloidosis. In this report, we are presenting a unique case of a patient who was diagnosed with AL amyloidosis several years prior to presenting with a soft tissue mass, which was subsequently noted to be an amyloid mass within an MZL. Overall, the occurrence of AL amyloidosis and MZL is rare with less than 20 patients reported. The MZL developed prior to or simultaneously with AL amyloidosis in the reported cases. Therefore, to our knowledge, this is the first time systemic amyloidosis has preceded MZL.
