Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-Related Sialadenitis and Dacryoadenitis With Chronic Rhinosinusitis.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a new disease entity of rare and complex immune-mediated fibroinflammatory conditions that can affect any organ. The concomitance of IgG4 sclerosing sialadenitis and dacryoadenitis with rhinosinusitis is extremely rare. We report a case of IgG4 sclerosing sialadenitis and dacryoadenitis (Mikulicz's disease) diagnosed in a middle-aged African American man with a long-standing history of chronic rhinosinusitis who presented with progressively worsening bilateral salivary and lacrimal glands swelling. Imaging revealed pansinusitis, symmetric enlargement of the lacrimal glands, parotid glands, and submandibular glands. Serological IgG4 level was significantly elevated and the diagnosis of IgG4 sclerosing sialadenitis was confirmed by histopathology. A robust clinical response in the facial swelling and nasal manifestations was noted after the initiation of immunotherapy with corticosteroids.
