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) can cause heterogeneous lesion in various organs. Serum IgG4 levels are useful in monitoring patients with IgG4-RD; however, when it is negative, more careful observation is required. A 58-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with serum IgG4-negative type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) 3 years prior visited our hospital for the evaluation of a liver tumor. She had visited a nearby hospital 1 month prior with complaints of a swelling in her right neck, and histological examinations were suggestive of IgG4-related sialadenitis. A positron emission tomography scan showed fluoro-deoxy-glucose accumulation in her right liver lobe; therefore, she was referred to our hospital. Liver tumor biopsy showed inflammatory cell infiltration and storiform fibrosis, without histological findings indicative of a malignancy. Many IgG4-positive cells were detected in immunostaining; thus, an IgG4-related hepatic inflammatory pseudo-tumor was diagnosed. After increasing in steroid dosage, the patient remained recurrence-free with 2 years. To our knowledge, this is the first report of mass-forming IPT for serum IgG4-negative type 1 AIP. Occasionally, IgG4-related IPT may appear in the periphery of the liver, and serum IgG4-negative cases should be more carefully observed because serum IgG4 is not an indicator.
