Serial Imaging Follow-Up for Immunoglobulin G4-Related Coronary Arteritis With Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A 49-year-old Japanese man received a diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-related coronary arteritis (IgG4-RCA), discovered following the detection of abdominal aorta wall thickening on computed tomography (CT). Intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) revealed thickening of both the adventitia and the intima-media complex (IMC) in the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, without significant stenosis. Corticosterone therapy was administered. On the fifth day of corticosterone therapy, the patient experienced an acute coronary syndrome secondary to LAD artery ostium occlusion, and a primary percutaneous coronary intervention was performed. After 3 months of corticosterone therapy, IVUS follow-up showed a decrease in the adventitia and IMC thickening. After 9 months of corticosterone therapy, positron emission tomography combined with CT revealed that the abnormal accumulation of fluorodeoxyglucose in the coronary arteries and abdominal aorta had disappeared. Considering the treatment process and the existing literature, there is a possibility that the adventitia and IMC deformation was induced by IgG4-RCA.
