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

In general, we have to assume tuberculous pleurisy when a patient presents with pleural effusion and elevated adenosine deaminase (ADA). However, other diseases need to be considered, including immunoglobulin (Ig)G4-related disease (IgG4-RD). This case involved a 65-year-old asymptomatic man with right pleural effusion showing elevated ADA. He had no articular findings or rashes. Results were negative for all autoantibodies. Pleura, mediastinal lymph nodes, and areas around the aorta and vertebra showed high uptake of
