Light Chain Amyloidosis Presenting as a Septic Shock: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a plasma cell dyscrasia that results in an overproduction of immunoglobulins of the lambda or kappa light chains. These monoclonal ALs begin to form fibrils with each other and exert their toxic effect by depositing in different organs around the body. Disease presentation is indistinct, but it is ideal to diagnose this disorder before end-organ damage is caused. Once the diagnosis of AL amyloidosis is confirmed, the best treatment is autologous stem cell transplantation once a candidate is deemed fit for it; however, there are other chemotherapy agents whose patients can be administered until they undergo stem cell transplantation. In this case presentation and systematic review of AL amyloidosis, we discuss a patient who presented with septic shock and further workup leading to a diagnosis of advanced-stage amyloidosis. We also take a deeper look at AL amyloidosis providing a comprehensive review of the disease process and its treatment options.
