Coexistence of immunoglobulin G4-related kidney disease and acute hematogenous disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 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
Background: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated fibrous inflammatory disease. Recently, an association between IgG4-RD and tuberculosis (TB) has been reported. Case summary: We report a 56-year-old man complaining of a cough and poor appetite for 2 months and oliguria for 1 day. The patient was diagnosed with TB due to a manifestation of lymphatic TB and the radiological alterations of acute miliary pulmonary TB. He also presented with greatly elevated serum creatinine, non-albumin proteinuria, immunoglobulin subgroup IgG4, and immunoglobulin free light chain (FLC) levels. A diagnosis of IgG4-RKD was suggested by a renal biopsy. We then administered the patient glucocorticoid and anti-TB treatment for 4 months. The patient's renal function was completely restored and the manifestations of TB were alleviated. Conclusion: The necessity and complexity of differential diagnosis in patients with coexisting IgG4-RD and TB remains challenging. Early recognition and timely treatment are important for averting its progression. Long-term monitoring is required to assess for recurrence of IgG4-RD and TB activity.
