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

A 67-year-old woman with a 5-year history of recurrent swollen eyelids and epistaxis, diagnosed as immunoglobulin G4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) based on hyper-IgG4-emia and IgG4-positive cell infiltration to the lesion, was referred to our department due to recurrent symptoms despite corticosteroid therapies. Computed tomography revealed an osteoclastic sinus mass with prominent neutrophil infiltration and necrosis that was incompatible with IgG4-RD histopathologically. Finally, she was diagnosed with a tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion (TFIL) of the head and neck and treated with high-dose corticosteroids. Physicians should remember that TFIL can mimic IgG4-RD in the head and neck region with prominent neutrophil infiltration and necrosis.
