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

In this case report, we discuss the rare presentation of a 56-year-old-gentleman with a history of light chain amyloidosis (AL), causing colonic pseudo-obstruction and requiring open subtotal colectomy and end ileostomy. This should remain a differential diagnosis in patients with known light chain AL presenting with nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation and abdominal pain. This prompts early investigation, such as endoscopy and tissue biopsy, and surgical intervention may be warranted.
