Cross-sectional pictorial review of IgG4-related disease.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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 G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the infiltration of one or more organs with IgG4-positive plasma cells resulting in inflammatory lesions and fibrosis. Although the pancreas is the most commonly affected organ, involvement of extrapancreatic organs is an increasingly recognized manifestation of the disease. Patients may be asymptomatic and serum IgG4 concentrations may be elevated or normal. Treatment consists of glucocorticosteroid treatment, with excellent response. A definitive diagnosis requires histopathology with imaging playing a key role in avoiding treatment delays. This pictorial review will focus on the most current knowledge regarding IgG4-RD including its common and less common manifestations and the roles of multidetector CT, MRI and ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of suspected IgG4-RD. Knowledge of the varied imaging findings of this multi systemic disease is essential for radiologists to avoid misdiagnosis and assist with timely and effective treatment.
