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) has only existed as a unique disease entity since 2003, yet remarkable progress has already been achieved in describing the essential features of the disease. A framework for systematic clinical studies has been created by the development of a quantitative disease activity tool (the IgG4-RD Responder Index) and the validation of classification criteria, both of which were the products of international, multi-centre investigations. In addition, substantial strides have been made in understanding the pathophysiology of IgG4-RD. In particular, the central role of B cells in the disease has been demonstrated by both the robust clinical responsiveness of IgG4-RD to B cell depletion and by the identification of multiple self-antigens that promote B cell expansion.
