Sinonasal IgG4-related disease: a rare and emerging entity broadening the differential diagnosis in the sinonasal universe.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundIgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a multi-organ immune-mediated disorder characterized by fibroinflammatory mass-forming lesions, mimicking malignancy or infection. While well-documented in salivary glands, orbit and thyroid in the head and neck, sinonasal IgG4-RD is rare.
methodsCases of sinonasal IgG4-RD were retrieved, and clinicopathological features reviewed.
resultsSeven cases of sinonasal IgG4-RD were identified over a 2-year period, including three males and four females, with an age range of 13-48 years (median: 32 years). Patients presented with cheek swelling, pain and visual disturbances. Serum IgG4 levels were mildly elevated. Storiform fibrosis, obliterative phlebitis and plasma cell infiltration were seen in varying proportions. Destruction of bone and subepithelial mucoserous glands was present. ALK-1 negativity distinguished from inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.
conclusionSinonasal IgG4-RD expands the growing spectrum of IgG4-RD. A high degree of suspicion is required to include IgG4-RD in differential diagnosis of sinonasal masses, and perform detailed histological and immunohistochemical workup for accurate diagnosis.
