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
Aim: To characterize the clinical features of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) in China and compare differences between our Chinese cohort and Western cohorts. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with AIP that was carried out in the China-Japan Friendship Hospital between January 2010 and April 2021. We included a total of 50 patients (46 males and 4 females) aged between 27 and 86 years who fulfilled the international Consensus Diagnostic (ICD) Criteria. For comparative purposes, we included data from seven representative Western cohorts. Result: When comparing Chinese and Western patients, we found that obstructive jaundice was the most frequent initial symptom (68 vs. 43%, Conclusion: This study identified significant differences between Chinese and Western populations of patients with AIP. Within the Chinese population, AIP was more likely to have jaundice and extra-pancreatic organ involvement, and elevated serum IgG4 levels. Chinese patients were also showed favorable responses to treatment with glucocorticoids.
