IgG4-related disease coexisting with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
An 85-year-old man presented with a pale appearance and generalised pruritic papules. Laboratory investigations disclosed eosinophilia, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, mixed hyperbilirubinaemia, cholestasis and elevated serum IgG4 levels. Abdominal sonography and CT showed progressive dilatation of biliary trees, with diffuse pancreatic enlargement and a subtle capsule-like low-density rim around the pancreatic head and body. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography found no stone-related biliary obstruction, while endoscopic transpapillary biopsy demonstrated chronic inflammation only. Nevertheless, the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease with coexisting autoimmune haemolytic anaemia was presumed. The clinical picture and laboratory abnormalities improved after administration of moderate dose of methylprednisolone.
