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

Herein, we report a rare case of localized ureteral amyloidosis in a patient with malignant lymphoma. A 73-year-old female patient visited our institution for a comprehensive examination and treatment of malignant lymphoma. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed left hydronephrosis and a left lower ureteral mass. These findings suggested either ureteral amyloidosis or a ureteral carcinoma with significant fibrosis. Cystoscopic biopsy was performed, and the patient was pathologically diagnosed with ureteral amyloidosis. Renal renography revealed left renal dysfunction. However, the patient was asymptomatic. Hence, the patient should be followed-up for ureteral amyloidosis. Computed tomography scan were performed every 3 months, and after approximately 1 year, there was no evidence of mass enlargement. This case highlights the rarity of ureteral amyloidosis and the importance of imaging diagnosis in clinical practice.
