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

We present a case of an angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and tubulointerstitial nephritis with storiform fibrosis in a 76-year-old man. The patient exhibited lymphadenopathy, polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, and renal dysfunction and was diagnosed with AITL on the basis of lymph node biopsy findings. The serum IgG4 level was highly elevated. Renal biopsy revealed IgG4-positive plasma cells and storiform fibrosis without infiltration of AITL, and the findings indicated IgG4-related kidney disease (IgG4-RKD). Following THPCOP therapy for AITL, the renal function improved. While diagnosing IgG4-RKD in a patient with AITL poses challenges, follicular helper T cell involvement appeared crucial in AITL and renal tubulointerstitial lesions in this case.
