Intestinal Reactive Amyloid A (AA) Amyloidosis in a Patient With Multiple Myeloma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Amyloidosis is a rare group of disorders characterized by the extracellular deposition of misfolded protein aggregates that interfere with the function of the tissue affected. In some patients, the presenting symptom of monoclonal gammopathies, such as multiple myeloma, can be a gastrointestinal bleed with a further report of amyloidosis in gastrointestinal samples. In all the cases the pathology report is read as AL (light chain) amyloidosis. We present a case of a 57-year-old male patient with no medical history who debuted with gastrointestinal bleeding. A colonoscopy revealed a colonic ulcer with a pathologic diagnosis of amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis. Further investigation led to the finding of multiple myeloma (MM) with no evidence of systemic amyloidosis. Although there is little evidence in the literature of the association or even causative relationship between multiple myeloma and AA amyloidosis, our case highlights the importance of searching for an underlying monoclonal gammopathy like MM in a patient with a confirmed diagnosis of AA amyloidosis.
