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

backgroundImmunoglobulin G4 related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory disease with markedly elevated serum IgG4 levels and fibrous tissue proliferation, accompanied by numerous plasma cells. IgG4 related hypertrophic pachymeningitis (IgG4-RHP) is relatively rare and indistinguishable from other phymatoid diseases before the operation. The risk of long-term immunosuppression needs to be balanced with disease activity. CASE SUMMARY: A 40-year-old man presented with headache and bilateral abducent paralysis. He was also diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis 10 years ago and was on regular treatment for the same. Before the operation and steroid therapy, the patient was suspected of having tubercular meningitis at a local hospital. A clivus lesion was found

conclusionIgG4-RHP is relatively rare and indistinguishable before the operation. Elevated serum IgG4 levels and imaging examination help in the diagnosis of IgG4-RHP. Surgery is necessary when lesions progress and patients start to develop cranial nerve function deficit.
