Endoscopic and Histological Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Amyloidosis: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 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
Amyloidosis encompasses a diverse group of systemic and localised disorders defined by the extracellular accumulation of misfolded proteins, leading to progressive tissue damage and multiorgan dysfunction. Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement is common, yet diagnosis is frequently delayed because symptoms are non-specific and endoscopic findings are equivocal. Recent advances in endoscopic technique, biopsy site selection and advancements in processing of pathological specimens have substantially improved the diagnosis of this condition. Targeted gastrointestinal biopsy, performed during endoscopy, now represents the most reliable approach for early tissue confirmation of amyloidosis. This review examines the topographic distribution of amyloid deposition within the gastrointestinal tract, correlates endoscopic findings with histopathological subtypes and evaluates biopsy positivity rates across different gastrointestinal segments. We also discuss contemporary innovations in endoscopic imaging and sampling instrumentation, alongside practical recommendations for optimising tissue acquisition and analysis. The objective is to provide both a medically and surgically oriented reference that facilitates earlier diagnosis, informs multidisciplinary decision-making and ultimately, improves prognostic outcomes for this subset of patients.
