[Autoimmune pancreatitis].
Review in Der Internist, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Autoimmune pancreatitis has been established as a special entity of pancreatitis. It is an enigmatic disease since it is adding an autoimmune etiology to the existing causes of pancreatitis. Morphological hallmarks of the disease are narrowing of the pancreatic duct system and the bile duct by periductal lymphoplasmocytic inflammation. This results in many cases in obstructive jaundice due to a mass-forming lesion in the pancreatic head mimicking pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Therefore, patients will frequently undergo surgery. Histopathologically, the disease can be diagnosed by IgG4-positive plasma cells. Serologically, patients may present with elevated serum IgG and IgG4 levels. Other autoantibodies are also described. Association with other autoimmune manifestations in a wide range of organs is frequent. Autoimmune pancreatitis will respond to steroid treatment, which is of specific importance because pancreatic cancer is one of its clinical differential diagnoses. It is important to positively diagnose autoimmune pancreatitis, especially if the bile ducts are affected, since cholangitis may be or become a prominent problem before or after surgery.
