Clinicopathologic features of orbital immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD): a case series and literature review.
Review in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundInvolvement of orbital structures by immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is not uncommon. We conducted this study to evaluate the clinicopathologic features of orbital IgG4-RD. MATERIAL/
methodsThis was a retrospective, clinicopathologic study. Clinical records, light microscopic features, results of immunostaining with IgG & IgG4 and laboratory findings were reviewed in 16 patients diagnosed with orbital IgG4-RD.
resultsEleven patients had a bilateral disease, and the lacrimal gland was involved in 14. Dense sclerosis, plasma cell aggregates and dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate were seen in all patients. Serum IgG4 titre was elevated in 12 patients. Nine patients responded completely to glucocorticoid treatment. Five patients had a relapse on discontinuation of treatment.
conclusionOrbital IgG4-RD is a distinct clinicopathologic entity requiring increased awareness and needs to be differentiated from other orbital lymphoproliferative lesions.
