Symptomatic hypercalcemia and scarring alopecia as presenting features of sarcoidosis.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease most frequently affecting the lungs, lymph nodes, and eyes. Skin involvement occurs in approximately 25% to 35% of cases, with the scalp uncommonly affected. Abnormal calcium metabolism is associated with sarcoidosis and other granulomatous disorders and most commonly presents as hypercalciuria (40%-60%) and, less frequently, hypercalcemia (10%-20%). Symptomatic hypercalcemia is unusual, presenting in <5% of sarcoidosis patients, and rarely results in kidney damage. We report here a case of sarcoidosis presenting with severe symptomatic hypercalcemia (>14 mg/dL, 3.5 mmol/L), scarring alopecia, and acute-on-chronic kidney failure.
