IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis: a rare cause of obstructive uropathy.
Article in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 (IgG4)-related disease was described in 2003 and is known to affect almost all organ systems. Rarely, this disease can manifest in the retroperitoneum, which can lead to sequalae such as obstructive uropathy. Here we describe a case of IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis leading to obstructive uropathy. The patient was managed with bilateral Double J (DJ) stenting and oral steroids. Following remission of the disease, the DJ stents were removed and the patient remained asymptomatic over the follow-up period. A high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis of this rare disease and timely management can lead to a positive outcome.
