Immunoglobulin G Subclass 4-Related Lymphoplasmacytic Thoracic Aortitis in a Patient with Acute Type A Aortic Dissection.
Article in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Immunoglobulin G subclass 4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently recognized systemic inflammatory disease characterized by an elevated serum IgG4 level and an IgG4-positive lymphocyte infiltrate mainly in exocrine tissues. Previous reports documented IgG4-RD in several cardiovascular disorders. We present a case of type A aortic dissection associated with IgG4-RD. A 52-year-old man diagnosed with a type A aortic dissection was referred for surgical treatment. He underwent emergency hemiarch reconstruction with a prosthetic graft. His postoperative recovery was uncomplicated. Histopathologic examination of his aortic tissue showed marked adventitial thickening with fibrosis and an IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltrate. He was diagnosed with type A aortic dissection incidentally complicated by IgG4-RD. The relationship between IgG4-RD and the pathogenesis of aortic dissection remains unknown and requires further investigation.
