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

A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to symptoms of dry eyes, dry mouth, and epigastric pain. Computed tomography showed distal pancreatic swelling, liver edge dullness and surface irregularities. Serum anti-nuclear antibody titers, immunoglobulin G and IgG4 levels were elevated. Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) was diagnosed based on endoscopic findings and a histopathological examination. Her AIP improved after starting prednisolone treatment. A liver biopsy revealed interface hepatitis with lymphoplasmacyte and IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration. In addition, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) was diagnosed based on the presence of parenchymal steatosis, ballooning hepatocytes, and pericellular fibrosis. We experienced a unique liver disease case showing IgG4-related liver disease overlapping with NASH.
