Immunoglobulin G4-related constrictive pericarditis identified by cytological examination of pericardial effusion: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2016. 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
backgroundImmunoglobulin G4-related disease is increasingly recognized as a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by immunoglobulin G4-positive lymphocyte infiltration. Organ biopsy and histopathology are the most important diagnostic methods; however, the significance of a cytological examination in immunoglobulin G4-related disease cases is still unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: A 73-year-old Asian man who was a former tobacco smoker presented with progressive exertional dyspnea, systemic edema, and pericardial effusion. A cytological examination of his pericardial effusion detected three or four plasma cells per high-power field by Giemsa staining. Moreover, immunoglobulin G4-positive plasma cells were detected by immunostaining. Cardiac catheterization after pericardiocentesis revealed that both ventricular pressure traces showed an early diastolic dip and plateau. Positron-emission tomography with
conclusionOur experience with this case indicates that cytological examination of pericardial effusion was useful in the diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-related disease.
