Vasculitis beyond aortitis in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD): case report and review of the literature.
Review in Clinical rheumatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 (IgG4-RD) can affect almost every tissue/organ. Vascular involvement in the setting of IgG4-RD is increasingly being recognized with most of the cases pertaining patients with aortitis and/or periaortitis with or without aneurysm formation. However, it is now evident that other vessels like iliac arteries, coronary arteries, carotids, and others can also be affected being often underdiagnosed. Vascular involvement is expressed as vessel wall thickening, while aneurysm formation is also occasionally seen. Although histopathological findings are the cornerstone in the diagnosis of IgG4-RD, imaging modalities like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) are similarly important when vascular involvement occurs, helping in the mapping of the disease and in identifying other, more accessible to biopsy, affected organs. Inflammation markers like erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein have also been described in IgG4-RD patients with vascular involvement. Herein, we present a case of a middle-aged man with long-term high inflammation markers who eventually diagnosed with IgG4-RD after an ascending aorta aneurysm operation, while a subsequent comprehensive magnetic resonance angiography revealed also involvement of the abdominal aorta and the left subclavian and left common carotid. Moreover, we sought to review the current literature about medium- and large-vessel involvement, beyond the aorta, in patients with IgG4-RD.
