Temporal bone involvement of IgG4-related disease: a rare condition misleading to petrous apicitis causing lateral rectus palsy.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) of temporal bone is rare and clinical manifestation mimics infection. A 19-year-old female presented with progressive left earache and intermittent left nasal obstruction. Then, she rapidly developed left lateral rectus palsy. The physical examination revealed mild redness of left tympanic membrane and a small nasal polyp from the left middle meatus. CT scan showed left petrous apicitis and enhancing sinonasal mucosa. Therefore, Gradenigo's syndrome was first considered. The empirical intravenous antibiotic was immediately prescribed and surgery was performed. The intraoperative pale soft tissue mass in middle ear and polyp in the left nasal cavity were sent for pathological examination and found positive immunohistochemical stains for IgG4 in plasma cells. Systemic corticosteroid, the first-line treatment, was started and her symptoms were finally recovery.
