Bilateral wrist masses as first manifestation of wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis in a case with recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral neuropathy in the general population. Recurrent bilateral CTS could be the first manifestation of a more serious systemic disease, such as amyloidosis, which would help with early diagnosis and prevent mortality and morbidity associated with this illness. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a rare case of a 75-year-old Middle Eastern man suffering from bilateral wrist edema with weakness and numbness of both hands and a history of recurrent bilateral CTS. The bilateral wrist masses were revealed at the MRI investigation. He was treated with surgical resection, and amyloid deposits were confirmed with pathology evaluation. He remains symptom-free after 4 years of follow-up.
conclusionThis case reinforces that forearm masses in the context of recurrent CTS should prompt evaluation for amyloidosis. Early biopsy and systemic workup can lead to timely diagnosis, improve prognosis, and guide targeted therapies. Future research should explore screening protocols for amyloidosis in high-risk CTS populations.
