IgG4 related pericardium and lung disease in pediatric patient complicated with fatal massive hemoptysis: a case report and review of literature.
Review in Pediatric rheumatology online journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundIgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a progressive and sometimes fatal disease that rarely affects pediatric age group. It may affect the orbits, lacrimal and salivary glands, pancreas, kidneys, peritoneum and other organs. Lung and pleura are not commonly reported in IgG4-RD. We here present a rare case of pediatric IgG4-RD with rare involvement of pericardium, pleura and lungs. CASE PRESENTATION: A 13-year-old girl presented with intrathoracic IgG4-RD with pleuropericardial involvement. She showed initial improvement on prednisolone. Azathioprine and then mycophenolate failed to control relapses during steroid tapering. Her last relapse was treated by rituximab however, the patient developed acute fatal massive hemoptysis.
conclusionsPediatric IgG4-RD is a rare entity with pericardio-pulmonary affection as the rare of the rare. Usual treatment of prednisolone and steroid sparing agents should be used, with rituximab used as a rescue therapy, but fatal complications may occur.
