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 lung disease is an extremely rare and novel entity which is still poorly understood. We reviewed the 16 patients diagnosed with IgG4-related disease from October 2014 through December 2019 at our institution. The three cases that showed pulmonary involvement are included in this series. Of these, two patients had cavitary lung disease and developed aspergilloma and chronic cavitating aspergillosis after a prolonged course of steroid therapy, and one had isolated pulmonary nodule and ground glass opacity. We reviewed the updated literature and briefly described disease epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies for IgG4-related lung disease.
