Infrequent organ involvement in immunoglobulin G4-related prostate disease: A case report.

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
backgroundImmunoglobulin G4-related prostate disease (IgG4-RPD) characterized by a high count of IgG4-positive plasma cells has distinctive serological and radiological findings. Here we report a case of a patient who was successfully treated for IgG4-RPD, which manifested as frequent micturition, dysuric, and systemic lymphadenopathy. CASE SUMMARY: The patient was a 33-year-old man who was referred to our hospital because of urinary tract symptoms that had persisted for 4 years. A physical examination revealed systemic lymphadenopathy and blood tests showed hyperglobulinemia with an IgG level of 18.90 g/L and an IgG4 level of 18.40 g/L. Computed tomography (CT) revealed bilateral lacrimal gland, right parotid gland and prostatic enlargement. Based on these findings, IgG4-RD was suspected, and further pathological examination and follow-up results showed expected results. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with IgG4-RPD based on clinical symptoms, pathological examination, therapeutic effects, and follow-up results. He received 50 mg oral prednisolone (the dose was gradually reduced and a low dose was used for long-term maintenance) in combination with cyclophosphamide 1.0 g
conclusionIn IgG4-RPD with severe urinary tract symptoms, radiological findings should be carefully examined. IgG4-RPD prognosis is good because the disease responds well to glucocorticoids. Furthermore, it is urgent for clinicians and pathologists to improve their understanding of IgG4-RPD.
