Unmasking Upper Airway Obstruction: A Case of Tracheobronchial Amyloidosis.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We present a rare case of a 76-year-old woman with severe tracheobronchial amyloidosis (TBA) causing airway collapse, in which the predominant underlying mechanism was expiratory central airway collapse (ECAC) secondary to both TBA and severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). CPAP therapy effectively treated severe OSA, which likely contributed to a reduction in ECAC severity and alleviation of breathlessness. This case suggests that positive airway pressure ventilation may represent a valuable adjunctive treatment in patients with TBA exhibiting features of OSA, particularly when endobronchial intervention is contraindicated or not feasible.
