Amyloidosis for the Gastroenterologist: A Comprehensive Systematic Review of Diagnosis and Management of Gastrointestinal Manifestations.
Synthesis in Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAmyloidosis is a rare, multisystem disorder characterized by extracellular deposition of misfolded protein fibrils. Gastrointestinal (GI) amyloidosis is uncommon but under-recognized due to nonspecific symptoms, but early diagnosis is critical to improve quality of life and prognosis. This comprehensive systematic review aimed to summarize current literature on GI and hepatic manifestations of amyloidosis, highlighting diagnostic and management strategies across the major subtypes of amyloidosis, in particular AL (immunoglobulin light chain), ATTR (transthyretin), and AA (serum amyloid A) amyloidosis.
methodsA systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, and PubMed conducted for studies published between January 2014 and December 2024 identified 77 studies meeting inclusion criteria.
resultsGI symptoms occur in approximately 1 in 6 patients with amyloidosis, but symptoms correlate poorly with gastrointestinal deposition. Current literature suggests that duodenal biopsy is the most reliable diagnostic site. Fibroscan shows promise in detecting hepatic amyloid involvement. Management is subtype specific. However, supportive care, particularly nutritional intervention, is essential across all subtypes.
conclusionsGI amyloidosis presents diversely with nonspecific symptoms. Standardized diagnostic algorithms, targeted therapies, and nutritional support can lead to improved outcomes and enhance quality of life.
