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 61-year-old male underwent fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET-CT) for evaluation of fever and weight loss with clinical suspicion of occult malignancy or tuberculosis. The scan showed hypermetabolism in bilateral submandibular salivary glands, biliary radicles, pancreas, bilateral kidneys, prostate, and multiple lymph nodes. Based on the concomitant involvement of these sites, suspicion of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease was raised in PET-CT report. Further evaluation with serum IgG4 levels and histopathology of the submandibular salivary gland confirmed the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease. The ability of FDG PET-CT to evaluate the whole-body status of disease played a crucial role in this case.
