Isolated IgG4 Autoimmune Cholangitis in the Absence of Pancreatitis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The IgG4-related disease is an uncommon immune-mediated condition affecting multiple organ systems concomitantly; however, it is very rare for a patient to have isolated IgG4 autoimmune cholangitis or IgG4-related disease confined to the hepatobiliary system. The majority of cases are associated with pancreatitis and are incidentally discovered in the workup of acute or chronic pancreatitis. When it affects the hepatobiliary system, it develops as inflammatory fibrosclerosing cholangitis, which can mimic other hepatobiliary diseases such as primary sclerosing cholangitis. Herein, we present a case of type 1 IgG4 autoimmune cholangitis in the absence of pancreatitis. Our case is particularly unique because type 1 is the most common type associated with autoimmune pancreatitis; however, our patient had type 1 without any evidence of pancreatic involvement. Additionally, like most cases of isolated IgG4 autoimmune cholangitis, our patient was refractory to standard therapy. This case highlights the clinical significance, rarity and severity of isolated IgG4 autoimmune cholangitis.
