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

backgroundThe diagnosis of unilateral eosinophilic pleural effusion (EPE) is difficult, especially for the elderly. IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare cause of EPE. CASE PRESENTATION: An 81-year-old man was admitted to the hospital for dyspnea due to right pleural effusion. Laboratory examination shows elevated IgG4 and eosinophils in both serum and pleural fluid. The patient was diagnosed with IgG4-RD by video-assisted thoracoscopy and pleural biopsy. We found no evidence of other organ involvement except for the EPE and history of prurigo. He was treated with prednisolone 40 mg daily orally and pleural effusion decreased significantly.

conclusionIgG4-RD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of EPE in the elderly. High effusion IgG4 concentration may be an indication of IgG4-related pleural lesions.
