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

An 89-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with complaints of body weight loss and anemia. Lower gastrointestinal imaging revealed a 3.5-cm stenosis in the descending colon near the splenic flexure. Endoscopy did not pass through the stricture. A biopsy showed no evidence of malignancy or lymphoma. Enhanced abdominopelvic computed tomography showed a thickened descending colon wall with swollen lymph nodes around the colon. Because descending colon cancer was suspected, laparoscopic-assisted left hemicolectomy with D2 lymph node dissection was performed. Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed severe fibrosis and chronic inflammatory cell infiltration. Immunohistochemistry staining showed the number of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-positive cells at 100/high-power field (400×), and the IgG4/IgG ratio was >40%. The serum IgG4 level was measured postoperatively and was within the normal range at 54 mg/dL. The patient was diagnosed as a probable group of IgG4-related disease based on the comprehensive clinical diagnostic criteria for IgG4-related disease.
