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

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be a rare initial presentation of hematologic malignancies such as multiple myeloma that is caused by an uncontrolled clonal proliferation of plasma cells. We report a case of a 65-year-old man, presenting with congestive heart failure, in whom EKJ and echocardiography findings are suggestive of cardiac amyloidosis, and which the etiological assessment identified multiple myeloma as the underlying cause. Through this case, we demonstrate that cardiac amyloidosis secondary to multiple myeloma can present as a newly diagnosed and rapidly progressive heart failure before any typical clinical features of multiple myeloma appear.
