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

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a multi-organ autoimmune disease characterized by elevated serum IgG4 concentration. Although serum IgG4 concentration is widely used as a biomarker for IgG4-RD and type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), a pancreatic manifestation of IgG4-RD, a significant number of patients have normal serum IgG4 levels, even in the active phase of the disease. Recently, we reported that the development of experimental AIP and human type 1 AIP is associated with increased expression of IFN-α and IL-33 in the pancreas. In this study, we assessed the utility of serum IFN-α and IL-33 levels as biomarkers for type 1 AIP and IgG4-RD. Serum IFN-α and IL-33 concentrations in patients who met the diagnostic criteria for definite type 1 AIP and/or IgG4-RD were significantly higher than in those with chronic pancreatitis or in healthy controls. Strong correlations between serum IFN-α, IL-33, and IgG4 concentrations were observed. Diagnostic performance of serum IFN-α and IL-33 concentrations as markers of type 1 AIP and/or IgG4-RD was comparable to that of serum IgG4 concentration, as calculated by the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Induction of remission by prednisolone treatment markedly decreased the serum concentration of these cytokines. We conclude that serum IFN-α and IL-33 concentrations can be useful as biomarkers for type 1 AIP and IgG4-RD.
