IgG4-related systemic sclerosing disease: a diagnosis to be considered!!
Article in BMJ case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
IgG4-related systemic sclerosing disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder with diverse clinical presentation. We report a 56-year-old patient who has presented with obstructive jaundice, bulky pancreas and mesenteric lymph node mass. He was later diagnosed to have IgG4-sclerosing disease involving pancreas, small bowel mesentery, common bile duct, liver, gallbladder and submandibular salivary glands and has required multiple surgical interventions. IgG4-related systemic sclerosing disease appears to be more commonly encountered than it was once thought and needs considered in patients presenting with pancreatitis of no obvious underlying cause. Although the disease is primarily managed by medical therapy, there is a role for surgical intervention in order to obtain tissue for diagnosis, exclude other possible neoplastic aetiology and to manage disease-related complications.
