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

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related pleurisy is a rare type of IgG4-related disease. We present the case of a 69-year-old woman with left pleural effusion and elevated adenosine deaminase levels. Initially, tuberculous pleuritis was suspected; however, the bacterial cultures and polymerase chain reaction test results for tuberculosis were negative. Thoracoscopic pleural biopsy revealed dense lymphocytic infiltrates with large numbers of IgG4-positive plasma cells. The ratio of IgG4-positive to IgG-positive plasma cells exceeded 40%. The patient was diagnosed with IgG4-related disease.
