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 a case of tracheobronchial amyloidosis (TBA) in a 55-year-old woman with newly diagnosed primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS), presenting with persistent cough, hemoptysis, and dry mucosal symptoms. Chest CT showed thickened airway walls and cystic lung changes, while bronchoscopy revealed nodular lesions with exposed vessels. Congo red staining confirmed amyloid deposition with κ light-chain dominance, consistent with AL amyloidosis. Despite immunosuppressive therapy, airway lesions persisted, highlighting the challenge of managing localized amyloidosis in SS. This case underscores the need for early recognition of TBA in SS patients presenting with respiratory symptoms.
