IgG4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD) Autoimmune Pancreatitis (AIP) as an Initial Presentation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute pancreatitis stemming from IgG4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD) seldom coincides with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), highlighting the importance of investigating autoimmune conditions in patients with IgG4-RD. We present the case of a 57-year-old male with a medical history notable for hypertension, photosensitivity, arthritis, and malar rash, who presented with 6 weeks of persistent epigastric pain. Computed Tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed hallmark features such as fat stranding around the pancreatic tail and gallbladder wall thickening, confirming the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and cholecystitis. Post-cholecystectomy, histopathological examination of the gallbladder displayed IgG4-positive staining in multiple vessels, accompanied by perivascular inflammation and fibrinoid necrosis infiltrated by lymphocytes and neutrophils, confirming the diagnosis of IgG4-RD. Subsequent evaluation prompted by systemic manifestations revealed an ANA titer of 1:5120 and a dsDNA titer of 1:80, leading to the diagnosis of SLE. The patient later developed mononeuropathy, which improved upon initiation of immunosuppressive therapy. This case underscores the intricate interplay between IgG4-RD and SLE, an association documented to a limited extent in literature, thereby emphasizing the imperative of considering alternative autoimmune diseases with manifestations akin to IgG4-RD.
