1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

IgG4-related diseases (IgG4-RDs) have recently been reported in many organs other than the salivary, pancreatic and hepatobiliary systems. A 64-year-old woman was referred to our department for her abdominal fullness and cardiomegaly on chest X-ray. After draining the pericardial fluid, her symptom promptly diminished, and pericardial friction rubbing became clearly audible. Elevated serum levels of IgG and IgG4 and ureteral wall thickening on computed tomography suggested IgG4-RD. After the initiation of oral corticosteroid therapy, the pericardial effusion was resolved, and she has been in a steady-state condition for the past two years.
