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

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (RD) is a systemic fibroinflammatory condition characterized by infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells (PCs). Gastrointestinal involvement may present as submucosal tumor-like lesions and poses diagnostic challenges. We report a case of a 59-year-old man with gastric submucosal tumor-like lesions detected during routine screening. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was used for the diagnosis and treatment. A histopathological examination revealed abundant IgG4-positive PC infiltration in the submucosa; however, these findings did not fulfill the comprehensive diagnostic criteria for IgG4-RD. IgG4-RD-like gastric lesions can mimic submucosal tumors. ESD may provide diagnostic and therapeutic benefits when a conventional biopsy is insufficient. Cautious interpretation of IgG4-positive PC infiltration in gastrointestinal specimens is required.
