1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

A 43-year-old male patient with a 7-year history of liver transplantation due to p.Val50Met hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) persisted with refractory neuropathic pain, distal weakness, and progressive worsening of dysautonomia. Nerve ultrasound was performed showing increased nerve cross-sectional area and enlarged fascicles in proximal sites in both arms, suggestive of amyloidosis. Nerve enlargement is commonly reported in inflammatory and hereditary demyelinating hypertrophic neuropathies but can also be present in deposition diseases. Neuromuscular ultrasound is a tool for the bed-side assessment of peripheral neuropathies and it is useful for early diagnosis of ATTRv.
