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

backgroundCoronary artery aneurysm is a rare but well recognized manifestation of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease, with a paucity of data to guide its management. CASE SUMMARY: A 62-year-old man with known IgG4-related disease diagnosed 2 years prior presented for routine clinic follow-up. Despite being asymptomatic and remaining in serologic remission, imaging demonstrated marked progression of a large right coronary artery aneurysm measuring 62 mm × 72 mm. Given prohibitive operative risks, immunosuppressive therapy was intensified with close imaging follow-up. DISCUSSION: Published experience with IgG4-related coronary artery aneurysm is limited to small case series, with highly variable management strategies and outcomes. To the authors' knowledge, this case represents the largest conservatively managed IgG4-related coronary aneurysm reported. TAKE HOME MESSAGES: IgG4-related coronary aneurysms may progress silently with disassociation between serologic remission and disease progression on imaging. Multidisciplinary decision-making is critical to optimize outcomes in this high-risk condition, particularly with regard to the surveillance strategy in patients who otherwise achieve biochemical remission.
