TAFRO Syndrome Presenting with Retroperitoneal Panniculitis-like Computed Tomography Findings at Disease Onset.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
TAFRO syndrome is rare, and its pathophysiology remains unclear. We herein report the case of a 66-year-old man who presented at our emergency department with epigastric pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed high-density retroperitoneal panniculus with contrast enhancement. He was treated initially with a protease inhibitor and hydration, to little effect. Anasarca, thrombocytopenia, and renal dysfunction developed gradually, and TAFRO syndrome was diagnosed. He was treated successfully with prednisolone and cyclophosphamide, and subsequent CT findings showed improvement. Abnormal CT findings of the retroperitoneum may indicate the early stages of TAFRO syndrome before the presentation of typical ascites.
