Rare case of wtTTR amyloidosis and MGUS in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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, multisystem disease that leads to deposition of misfolded proteins in various organs. This case report presents a patient with cancer with a rare diagnosis of diffuse alveolar-septal transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis with subsequent protein electrophoresis identifying monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance. It highlights the association of amyloidosis with malignancy and the importance of including workup for plasma cell dyscrasias in patients found to have TTR amyloidosis. There are major differences in the clinical course and treatment of amyloid light chain and amyloid transthyretin amyloidosis, and evaluation of the precursor protein(s) is critical as a guide for management.
