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

We report the case of a woman in her 50s who underwent, 5 years prior, a total gastrectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for diffuse-type gastric cancer diagnosed during a workup for isolated gastric primary light chain (AL) amyloidosis. At the time of diagnosis, immunoglobulins light chain measurements and bone marrow biopsy were performed to rule out multiple myeloma and came back normal. Three years later, the patient developed systemic amyloidosis involving the heart and the lungs, after which she developed multiple myeloma. Isolated amyloid deposits in the stomach are a rare finding. While AL amyloidosis is frequently found in concomitance with multiple myeloma, late progression of primary AL amyloidosis to systemic amyloidosis and multiple myeloma is uncommon.
