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

Background: Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related diseases are systemic fibroinflammatory disease characterized by extensive infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells in the affected tissue(s), with high plasma levels of IgG4. However, coronary involvement is rare. Case summary: A 70-year-old man was diagnosed with IgG4-related coronary arteritis, pancreatitis, and cholangitis during full-body contrast computed tomography (CT) examination prior to surgery for an iliac artery aneurysm. Discussion: Steroid therapy is the first-line treatment for IgG4-related diseases; however, there may be some refractory cases. The stenotic and aneurysmal types of IgG4-related coronary arteritis are life-threatening; therefore, we performed revascularization using balloon angioplasty. Determining the optimal revascularization technique for drug-refractory cases requires further investigation.
