IgG4-related Sclerosing Cholangitis Mimicking Cholangiocarcinoma Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine-needle Aspiration.
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 8 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
A 58-year-old man was referred for obstructive jaundice. Imaging modalities revealed the presence of multiple pancreatic tumors and the stenosis of the middle common bile duct due to a hypoenhanced localized tumor. The multiple pancreatic tumors were histopathologically diagnosed as autoimmune pancreatitis by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). To differentiate between IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) and cholangiocarcinoma, we diagnosed the biliary tumor as IgG4-SC by EUS-FNA because of insufficient pathological materials obtained in a transpapillary manner. We herein report a case of IgG4-SC diagnosed by EUS-FNA.
