Overlap of IgG4-related Disease and Multicentric Castleman's Disease in a Patient with Skin Lesions.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
A 59-year-old man presented with multiple dark red erythemas with induration, anemia, and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. A skin biopsy revealed the infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells and he was initially diagnosed with multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD). Glucocorticoid treatment was only partially effective. Four years later, the patient's bilateral lacrimal glands gradually became enlarged and a biopsy revealed dense lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltration with an IgG4+/IgG+ plasma cell ratio of 70%. The patient was diagnosed with IgG4-related disease (RD). Rituximab only had a slight effect. This case demonstrates that overlapping features of IgG4-RD and MCD may present in a single patient, which suggests a shared pathogenesis.
