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

A 77-year-old man who was referred to our hospital because of dizziness and elevated troponin I level. Electrocardiography showed sinus bradycardia and a tri-fascicular block. Computed tomography revealed no coronary artery stenosis, but late gadolinium enhancement of the basal interventricular septum was detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cardiac sarcoidosis was initially suspected, but pathological findings demonstrated extracellular amyloid deposition on the direct fast scarlet. The patient was diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis (CA). The MRI manifestation in this case was atypical for CA; however, CA should not be overlooked.
