Intralesional Corticosteroid Therapy for Isolated Immunoglobulin G4-Related Esophageal Involvement: A Novel Approach to a Rare Condition.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2026. 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
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease is a chronic, systemic immune-mediated condition. Esophageal involvement is considered rare and often poses major diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We present an 81-year-old male patient with isolated esophageal immunoglobulin G4-related disease with extended clinical and endoscopic follow-up for 6 years, who had poor tolerance to systemic and topical steroids. The patient was successfully treated using a combination of intralesional steroids and serial balloon dilations spaced at long intervals. This approach, which has not been previously reported in this condition, resulted in prolonged clinical stability over an extended period.
