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

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic fibroinflammatory disorder characterised by elevated serum levels of IgG4 and multiorgan damage. Its diagnosis is challenging and requires a careful integration of clinical, radiological, serological and histological data. Pancreatic and biliary involvement is one of the most common manifestations of IgG4-RD, presenting as type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC), two entities that often occur synchronously and may mimic malignancy in the form of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and cholangiocarcinoma, respectively. The main objective of this article is to illustrate the key imaging features of AIP and IgG4-SC on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), providing a comprehensive review of their current diagnostic criteria and discussing their differential diagnosis with other benign and malignant conditions.
