The Onset of IgG4-related Retroperitoneal Fibrosis under Administration of a TNF Inhibitor in a Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient.

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
An 80-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis during treatment with etanercept, a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor, showed swelling of the salivary glands and retroperitoneal fibrosis, which was diagnosed as IgG4-related disease. Although some reports have shown the efficacy of TNF inhibitors for IgG4-related disease or retroperitoneal fibrosis, TNF inhibitors sometimes cause paradoxical reactions like psoriasis, and the mechanisms are considered to involve the upregulation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells and IFN-α, which is also common in patients with IgG4-related disease. This is a case report of IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis with the possibility of a rare paradoxical reaction by a TNF inhibitor.
