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

IgG4 related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibro-inflammatory disease, with tendency to affect any organ of the body. However, few cases affecting the skull base have been reported in literature. We report one such case in an elderly male, who presented us with a mass lesion in the skull base that mimicked nasopharyngeal malignancy. On thorough clinical history, examination, and investigations, IgG4 Related disease was diagnosed and treatment was started for it. The patient responded well to the treatment and is on follow up.
