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 unique case of a retroperitoneal tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion related to IgG4-sclerosing disease; it is a rare manifestation of the IgG4-related disease, which usually causes diffuse fibrosis when located in the retroperitoneum, rather than mass-like lesions. A 49-year-old man presented to the emergency department complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting. Subsequent testing with abdominal ultrasound, CT, and MRI revealed a large retroperitoneal mass of unknown origin, heterogenous, with a concentric circles pattern best visualized in MRI. The lesion was resected, and the histological and immunohistochemical studies revealed an IgG4-related tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion of the retroperitoneum.
