IgG4-related disease in the differential diagnosis of lung nodules.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
IgG4-related disease is an evolving entity of immune-mediated origin. We report a case of IgG4-related disease mimicking lung cancer with pleural dissemination. A 76-year-old male non-smoker was admitted to our hospital because of chest X-ray abnormality. Chest computed tomography scan showed a lung nodule measuring 26 × 14 mm with tiny nodules on the adjacent pleural surface. Wedge resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was performed to aid diagnosis. Pathological findings of the nodule consisted of lymphoid follicular hyperplasia with lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, fibrosis, and obstructive vasculitis. Focal and scattered thickening of the pleura with lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate was also observed. The IgG4/IgG ratio in the most prominent area exceeded 80%. Thus, we made a diagnosis of IgG4-related lung and pleural disease. To our knowledge, there has been no report of IgG4-related lung disease mimicking lung cancer with pleural dissemination.
