Early Detection and Intervention of Coronary Artery Involvement in Immunoglobulin G4-related Disease.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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 with swollen submandibular glands developed an aortic aneurysm requiring aortic prosthesis implantation. Echocardiography performed to evaluate the cardiac function before the surgery incidentally revealed masses around the coronary arteries. The serum IgG4 levels were increased. A post-operational pathological examination of the abdominal aneurysms revealed infiltration of plasma cells, with the ratio of IgG4/IgG-positive cells being >80%. The patient was diagnosed with IgG4-related disease (RD) with coronary artery involvement. He was treated successfully with corticosteroid before any associated cardiovascular events occurred. Given the poor prognosis of IgG4-RD-associated coronary artery involvement, this case emphasizes the importance of the early assessment with echocardiography, even if patients have no cardiovascular symptoms.
