Sarcoidosis and the Heart.
Article in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The treatment of sarcoid cardiomyopathy can be considered in part the treatment of the systemic disorder, and in part cardiac involvement, the manifestations of which may differ greatly. Therapy for the systemic disease is corticosteroid. Therapy for cardiac involvement includes prednisone, but because treatment must ameliorate or abolish many differing manifestations, therapy differs among patients. Asymptomatic patients (the majority) who are free from serious manifestations of the disease do not require pharmacologic or interventional treatment. Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy require treatment for congestive heart failure. High-grade atrioventricular conduction delay usually necessitates a permanent electronic pacemaker. Life-threatening arrhythmia usually requires implantation of an automatic implantable cardiac defibrillator (AICD). Antiarrhythmic drugs may also be needed. Cardiac tamponade should be treated by drainage of pericardial fluid. Pericardiectomy is usually the appropriate treatment for patients who develop significant constrictive pericarditis. Calcium channel blockers may be helpful for severe diastolic dysfunction that occurs in those with restrictive cardiomyopathy. Therapy should be given to those few patients who manifest hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to relieve left ventricular outflow obstruction. Cardiac transplantation for intractable heart failure or arrhythmia may be needed.
