IgG4-positive Hashimoto thyroiditis and its association with IgG4-related sclerosing disease.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A woman in her 50s was referred with suspected thyroid malignancy and underwent total thyroidectomy. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed IgG4-positive Hashimoto's thyroiditis. IgG4-related thyroid disease is poorly understood, and thought to encompass various entities including IgG4-positive Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Fibrosing Variant of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Reidel's thyroiditis and Graves' disease with elevated IgG4 levels. Furthermore, it may be associated with a systemic fibrosing condition called 'IgG4-related sclerosing disease'. The clinical significance of IgG4-positive thyroid disease, however, remains unclear.
