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

backgroundThe purpose of this case report is to describe a case of multiple intrahepatic artery aneurysms during treatment for IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) and to provide information for daily practice. CASE SUMMARY: A 64-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with IgG4-SC five years prior and was receiving maintenance treatment with prednisolone 7.5-10 mg/day. She developed abdominal pain and a sudden onset of black stool and was admitted to our hospital. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) revealed multiple intrahepatic artery aneurysms that developed during the treatment for IgG4-SC. Emergency transarterial embolization for multiple hepatic artery aneurysms was performed. Hepatic artery aneurysms disappeared on contrast-enhanced CT and US, the progression of anemia ceased, and the melena resolved. Thus, hemostasis was achieved.

conclusionHepatic artery aneurysms should be considered poor prognostic complications of IgG4-SC.
