Multiple myeloma presenting with amyloid arthropathy as the first manifestation: Two case reports.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundMultiple myeloma (MM) can be accompanied by amyloidosis, which occurs in a small number of patients and is characterized by deposition of light chains in the joints, leading to multiple myeloma-associated amyloid arthropathy (MAA). As a rare complication of MM, clinical manifestations of MAA are often similar to those of rheumatoid arthritis, and the two are easily confused. CASE SUMMARY: In recent years, our center treated two patients of MM with amyloid arthropathy as the first manifestation, both of whom presented with polyarthritis. After treatment for MM, both patients achieved complete remission. However, subsequently, the two patients underwent hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures. Congo red staining and immunofluorescence of the joint tissues confirmed MAA after surgery. Eventually, one of the patients died of MM recurrence, while the other survived.
conclusionMAA should be regarded as an initial symptom of MM and should be taken seriously.
