Pulmonary vascular involvement of IgG4-related disease: Case series with a PRISMA-compliant systemic review.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundImmunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently recognized, immune-mediated chronic fibrotic inflammation that can involve almost all organs, causing tumefaction and dysfunction. Its presence in pulmonary circulation is underestimated and has not yet been investigated.
objectivesWe describe a representative IgG4-RD patient with pulmonary artery stenosis and pulmonary embolism, leading to reversible pulmonary hypertension. Literature review of IgG4-RD with pulmonary circulation involvement was conducted. DATA SOURCES: References for this review were identified through searches via PubMed, EBSCO, and Web of Science for published articles before November 2016.
resultsThere were 15 published cases of IgG4-RD with pulmonary vascular involvement, 3 with pulmonary arteritis, 2 with pulmonary artery aneurysm, 3 with pulmonary artery stenosis, 1 with obliterative phlebitis, and 1 with pulmonary embolism. Possible immunity and inflammation mechanisms were summarized.
conclusionsIgG4-RD with pulmonary vascular involvement is rare. Echocardiogram and contrast-enhanced chest CT are helpful to screen the disease. Clinical manifestations were found from asymptomatic to dyspnea or even syncope. And nearly all cases had more than 1 organ affected, with significantly increased serum IgG4 levels. PET/CT aided in identifying affected organs and determining candidate biopsy sites. More awareness is urged to evaluate the pulmonary vascular manifestations of this disease.
